I started using this weed killer recipe a year ago. It works well but if you have concerns about surrounding vegetation you just have to pull them.

Where are your weeds? Patio? Driveway? Garden beds? Lawn? Different application for different areas. I use boiling water. Or Epsom salt followed by boiling water. Or white vinegar.
1-gallon vinegar (with 5% acetic acid)1 oz. dish soapPlastic spray bottle.Directions: Mix the vinegar and soap together and pour into a spray bottle and spray onto weeds.

Here's a tutorial that might help https://chascrazycreations.com/home-made-weed-killers/
Hello Belen, you can soak and pull larger weeds out by the roots, and for other ones, hope this helps, mix 1 cup of salt. 1 tablespoon of dish soap. 1 gallon of vinegar, pour into a spray bottle and spray weeds. Be careful not to spray plants that you love.
It is so simple but it can work a treat. Boil some tap water in a kettle and once ready pour it directly on the crown of your weeds. Larger weeds may take three or four applications in order to stop coming back but this is a low cost and hassle free solution worth giving a try. Just be sure to wear adequate protection clothing so that the scolding hot water doesn’t splash back onto your feet, legs and/or hands. Some people have actually seen this method work better than the vinegar method, give it a shot!
Boiling water for the kill to the root. I have never had much luck with vinegar, dish washing liquid, and salt mixtures no matter what the formulas are.
