White vinegar threads

Just a thought re supermarkets, they won't be wanting to sell larger quantities of vinegar ~ it will take away the profit from the expensive cleaning products - why sell us a gallon of a cheap product when they can sell you ten different ones.
If you have a Chinese deli in your area, ask them, Our local one sells a gallon, non brewed condiment, for £1.99. It was about 6 mths ago, so may have gone up a little.

I've found that bog standard malt vinegar is fine. Even for those areas such as laundry or the loo where people have suggested a risk of staining. (I've never had any such problem.)

Asda sell 500mil for 17p

That makes it 34p per litre.

And so approx £1.53 per gallon.

Thank you for contacting us. I see that you would like to be able to buy Sainsbury’s White Balsamic Vinegar in larger bottles, possibly 5 Litre. I understand how popular this product has become for household chores.

Balsamic??? Surely that should be 'distilled', balsamic vinegar is very expensive so you wouldn't use that for cleaning.

White vinegar is brilliant for cleaning windows and mirrors....put a couple of cap fulls into your bowl of water and clean windows as usual and then get dry kitchen roll and dry them off - or a soft cloth if the kitchen roll paper is too scratchy....also good for cleaning the fridge and getting rid of those funny smells.....cleaning trainers....alsorts of things

What percentage solution would I need to clean a floor with white malt vinegar?

I just use a good splash (half a teacupful?) in a bucket of very hot water on my wooden floors and I think it keeps them looking really good.

I use blue flash. Dilute it in an old spray bottle about one sixth fluid to water. Cleans really well and leaves a nice smell.
