Hi,

I am a bit puzzled about white vinegar, where can i get it?

all i find in the supermarket is white wine vingear.


I have distilled vinegar which is clear, is this the stuff?

If not where can i get it cheaply?

thanks

Thats the stuff - just plain normal distilled vinegar....

I think people buy it in larger quantities from Cash and Carrys or Asian supermarket type places, but I dont know where any of those are in my area yet so cant help on the prices you'd be likely to find it in there but hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge will be along to help you soon xx

The term white vinegar is a misnomer, it is not white, it is clear, like water

I suspect "white" is used to differentiate it from "brown" malt vinegar, but clear or distilled vinegar is what it really is as xx_Jo_xx says

Yes, I use distilled vinegar. So cheap, better for the planet, and the smell does not bother my migraines.

I cut in a half with water and put in a plant spray bottle I bought at Wilcos.

I am also interested where to buy in bulk, my parents buy by the gallon in the US.

I buy mine from my local Chinese Supermarket it costs about £3 for 5 litres and its good.

Hi blushingbride,

I've added your thread to the main thread on white vinegar where you'll be able to find more information on what vinegar to use, where to buy it and the various uses.

These threads may help too:

I have seen some white vinegaar for sale in my local chippy, it states it is for pickling, is this the same stuff as you guys use.
And also what concentration do you guys use for clening windows and mirrors
