Confused about vinegar!

Fibabe

I'm new to OS and have been reading the new thrifty ways book, getting some good tips.

I'm confused about what vinegar to get. I've seen at Tesco on-line white wine vinegar and white distilled malt vinegar. Which is the one I need for cleaning?

Many thanks

White distilled malt vinegar is the one you need.

I use the white distilled vinegar too, but i do know others on here do use the brown malt vinegar, with the same results!!!

Thank you both.

Please help, I need white vinegar for my house cleaning but Tesco either doesn't have it or I can't find it.

Is white vinegar the same as distilled vinegar because that's all they've got.

It is Distilled Malt Vinegar

My local Tesco have it on the bottom shelf near the other vinegars

There is a thread near the top. here is the link http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=331660

Its usually with all the other vinegars. White vinegar is the clear vinegar as opposed to the brown malt vinegar. Mine has the words 'distilled' on it. Hope that helps

I'm sure I saw it in my local Tesco the other day.

I believe if you spray 3% hydrogen peroxide (get from local (mainly old fashioned) chemist) and then spray white vinegar the combination results in one of the most powerfull (and very safe) disinfectants available. It's just a shame it's not very convienient though!

If you can't find white vinegar in local supermarkets try asking if the local chippy will sell you a bottle.

Hiya Kelly,

This is a common question for people who are new to old styling. I've therefore merged your question with an older thread to keep the answers together.
