Vinegar is one of the most versatile products in any home. Beyond the kitchen, it is a great cleaning ally because it naturally dissolves limescale and removes unpleasant odours.
1. Limescale on taps and showers
Soak a cloth in spirit vinegar, wrap it around the tap and leave it for an hour. The limescale will then wipe away easily.
2. Streak-free glass
Mix vinegar and water 1:1 in a spray bottle. Windows and mirrors will shine without streaks.
3. Freshening the microwave
Heat a cup of water with two tablespoons of vinegar for five minutes. The steam loosens stubborn grime, and unpleasant odours disappear along with it.
4. Descaling the kettle
Fill the kettle half with water and half with vinegar, bring it to a boil and leave it overnight. Rinse thoroughly with clean water in the morning.
5. Softer laundry
Half a cup of vinegar in the fabric softener compartment helps keep laundry soft and free of detergent residue.
Important
Do not use vinegar on marble, granite or other natural stone, as it can damage the surface.
