White Vinegar’s cleaning power is about as strong as it’s pungent odor. It kills 99% of bacteria, which actually makes it more effective than a lot of popular chemical cleaners! It’s also quite economical.
How to use it: Mix equal parts H20 and vinegar in a spray bottle.
When to use it:
- to clean countertops and tile floors
- to kill insects
- to kill mildew and mold (use full strength for this one)

/ August 4, 2010Alejandra, I totally hear that concern – the smell is quite strong! I think it does dissipate if you give it some time, but again, I totally hear you. One thing I’ve done to make it less unpleasant is to add several drops of lavender essential oil into the mixture of vinegar and water. This definitely helps but unfortunately, that vinegar smell is still going to be there, but at least it’s not hazardous to your health (like bleach, etc)! There’s always the option of using odorless peroxide (our fav ;))
