DIY cleaner without vinegar??
-
Z on Sep 24, 2013Christy I'm with you on that. I can't even be next to my hubby when he uses his oil and vinegar dressing on a salad. It seems every home made cleaner that I've seen has vinegar as an ingredient so I gave up looking and just stick with steam, Dawn dish washing liquid and baking soda. I'm hyper sensitive to most chemicals, but even if I wasn't I don't want to expose my family, our pets or myself to anything that might be harmful.Helpful Reply

Peg on Sep 26, 2013I would use the liquid DAWN [I swear by it] & the baking soda, with some water using a scrubee on shower doors & rinse well with hot water! Good Luck! :)Helpful Reply

Aunt Hilda on Sep 27, 2013FRESH lemon or lime juice, is a great substitution for vinegar. It's the high amount of acidity that makes for a good disinfecting homemade cleaner.Helpful Reply

Irish53 on Sep 29, 2013I use dry baking soda on a soft rag or sponge for bathroom tile, the tub, and anything glass that needs to be scrubbed clean. Rinse well. And yes I can't use bleach in my wash so I use baking soda and peroxide to whiten my totally white wash.Helpful Reply

Bonnie Lewenza on Sep 29, 2013If the smell of the vinegar is what you don't like change it. Use lemon or orange peels put them in a large glass jar fill the rest with vinegar. Put in dark cupboard for 2 weeks or longer, shake once in a while. It will no longer smell of vinegar it will be a clean lemon or orange scent with the same benefits of vinegar.Helpful Reply
