Any advice on concealing the smell of vinegar?

I do put in essential oils, and although there is still a hint of vinegar it ends up with quite a pleasant fragrance - I used lemon and something else last time but I can't remember what

I often add some lemon juice to the vinegar and also some essential oil. I only have a faint smell of vinegar which disappears very quickly.
Just making sure of the obvious - you do dilute your vinegar don't you?

If you get some tea-tree oil, the proper essential oil and not a fragrance one, then you have the added benefit that it has anti-bacterial properties as well as a lovely smell
I even add a couple of drops to some cheapo bubble bath or shower gel to use as a hand cleanser too and it works out much cheaper than stuff like carex etc

I didn't know you had to dilute the vinegar - I've been sloshing it around as it comes.
Thank goodness you thought to mention it - my house could be rotting around me as I write.0 -
Thanks for all the advice - was thinking some lavender would be good - yes I did dilute the vinegar I mad sure I read all the tips on the indexed thread first before I started cleaning. Off to get some proper essential oil I thinkInitial Mortgage January 2024 - £160,000

I've been reading the virtues of using vinegar for cleaning but when I've used it for cleaning my kitchen etc the whole place just stinks of vinegar! How do I get rid of the smell of vinegar?0

When I use vinegar the smell wears off in about 30 minutes. My house is draughty though.I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.0

Could be that you are using too much? You only need a small amount added to water.
Try lighting a match and or candle that is another way of clearing smells from a room.Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
