White vinegar threads

I think Kim and Aggie might also be partly responsible... they advocate using vinegar/bicarb/lemon juice for cleaning.

I bet you in a few years, they will be more expensive than the cleaning products are now.

One of our local cash & carries has some white and brown "non brewed condiment" vinegars for £2.29 for 2 X 4.5 litres, is this similar to the white distilled vinegar and can it be used for the same things? as this would work out to 25p per litre.

That is what we use in the inkie household!

Where can I get white vinegar for cleaning? Sounds mad but I thought they'd have it in 1 litre* bottles in Tesco or something! Help!

*For not a lot more than the Tesco 1 litre, I get 5 litres from our local greengrocer. I think they stock it for making pickles.

Hi guys,

I've heard all about the benefits of vinegar but need some help please.

What vinegar exactly do I get?
Where is the best/cheapest place to get it?
What can I use it for including volumes etc?
What other things are good to get to boost it's uses/powers?

Would much appreciate your assistence and I thank you all in advance.

Hello Cat121. I don't think this answers any of your questions, but it may be useful information to someone. I only had Sarson's malt vinegar in my cupboard. My husband hates vinegar, even the smell, but a recurring cold sore had erupted. I told him to dab it with vinegar so he held his breath and let me do it. It cleared up in record time and he hasn't had one since. It may not happen immediately, but perhaps in the end a cure.

when my spray bottle of window cleaner finished last month i kept the bottle and filled it with 1/2 water 1/2 cheapo brown vinegar. i now use this to clean my windows/glass tables/mirrors/tv and general dusting and have yet to clean my kitchen wall tiles with it :j i saved myself a few quid by not buying a shop bought spray and i can honestly say it works just as good and its a whole lot cheaper! you do smell the vinegar a little when you use it but the smell soon disappears leaving everything sparkly.

If you have a fish market near you they may sell vinegar in large quantities. I bought a 5 litre container for £1.65 this week, which should save me loads of dosh through not using expensive cleaners.:D
