Try this recipe: https://www.craftylittlegnome.com/permanently-kill-grass-weeds/
1 gal white vinegar, 1 cup of salt and several drops of blue Dawn.
Just use straight vinegar & do not need to add epsom salt(which actually helps plants grow)depending on where the weeds are (cement or gravel areas) you can mix 1gallon vinegar & 1 cup table salt til salt is dissolved pour on plants til it soaks into root area center of plants do this in full hot direct sun and no rain 3 days. Do not use the salt added in vinegar if you are trying to kill weeds around bricks(causes spalling/bricks get ruined) do not need to add dish soap people say helps stick on leaves it's the roots that need killed many weeds will regrow even after leaves have been killed so save the dish soap for the dishes. plus dish soap is really bad for soil & the water table it contains phosphates/other chemicals real bad on environment. adding salt kills everything including soil so if you are trying to kill weeds in yard/lawn,garden beds,veggie patches do not add the salt you won't be able to grow anything after weeds are gone.it kills all beneficial microbes which make up healthy soil which is needed for healthy plants.
The one that's suited to the weeds. Seriously. Each product is made to target different weeds at different stages. For example, pre-emergents kill prevent weed seeds from growing. Round Up works very well on most weeds.

This is not an exact science – approximate measures are totally fine 1 gallon white vinegar and cup Epsom salts and ¼ cup liquid dish soap Combine ingredients in spray bottle and treat weeds at the hottest time of day for best results.
