    Does anybody else here use normal malt vineger for all the house hold tasks that require the stuff? I am just not really wanting to pay out for white vinegar, especially as there was none in the Chinese supermarket today.

    Do you have an Aldi near you ,i buy mine from there and use it for everything. I dont know if you can use malt vinegar but i suppose you could try although i would not put it in the machine for white washing in case it stains it. Sorry not to be much more help.

    I use ordinary vinegar, the cheapest I can get. For general cleaning around and for keeping the toilet bowl limescale free it doesn't have to be white vinegar imho.
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    I've used malt vinegar for most things - even as a conditioner in the wash when I haven't had white vinegar. Didn't make any difference IMHO.
  • Hi all,

    just bought distilled malt vinegar from tesco as it was the only one there that was clear, is this the right vinegar for cleaning? Please could someone advise me.

    Cheers x
  • All vinegar is good for cleaning, you just need to avoid the dark one as it will stain absorbant surfaces. So if it's vinegar, and if it's clear, you should be OK :)

    Is there a Value distilled/white vinegar? I've never seen it - perhaps it's only in the larger Mr Ts?

    I'm sure there is... Although I might have been thinking Smart price... I'm SURE I've seen it in a value wrapping though... But yes it would have been a HUGE Mr Ts probably - I only go to a tiny one or a huge one and it's not gonna have been the smaller one :)
