I use this mixture for cleaning tarnished copper...like the bottoms of some skillets and pans or even shining up pennies. The ‘oxide’ in the tarnished surface is not affected much with the vinegar but the salt accelerates the deoxidation of the tarnished surface..making it very shiny!!
Can be used for cleaning. It also kills all weeds, but be aware that the soil will be unusable for quite a while where it is used, the vinegar and salt sterilize the soil of nutrients and changes the salinity of the soil. It should be used only on the driveway cracks, rock gardens, not around any plants you want to keep. The salt is also bad for the ecosystem in that it changes the salinity of the ground water and gets into the fresh water streams, rivers and lakes and changes the salinity of the water affecting any wild life and aquatic plants, even getting into drinking water.
I tried that as a weed killer. The weed in the gravel path dies allright but it doesn't affect the roots apparently because a couple weeks later it was all back. I returned to the industrial weed killer but if possible I paint it on the weeds with a brush, so nothing goes in the ground but only on the weed I want to kill.
If you're using vinegar, salt and dish soap as a weed killer, then the vinegar etches the oils or protective surface of the leaves and the salt dehydrates the plant. The soap helps ithe mixture cling to the weeds or plants you're trying to get rid of. It works great and will kill any plant it touches.
It can be used for the scrubbing action in cleaning.
Normally used for cleaning applications. Do you have a specific application in mind?
are you using it as cleaner? it helps scrub or weed killer? kills the plant,roots & soil so nothing regrows
Salt, as a cleaning agent, is used as a mild abrasive.
