    Vinegar is a great deodouriser as well as a de-greaser. Once it's evaporated there is no trace of the vinegar smell.

    Hi Quenastoise.

    I use regular white vinegar bought in the supermarket for cleaning windows, descaling the shower tray, taps etc, the kettle and the iron.

    There are lots more ideas on this thread:

    White Vinegar Uses

    I'll add your thread to that one later.

    I've just used it to clean our kitchen drain with soda crystals...bleach wasn't clearing the smell but this seems to have helped a lot more and it's cheaper than buying drain degreaser things...

    Reporting back - one clean showerhead with V little scrubbing. I poured the vinegar in a little sandwich bag & tied it in the shower head. Seems to have worked pretty well.
