distilled vinegar?

starlight35

Hi

I usually put white vinegar in my washing machine on a 90 degree wash to clean it, I bought distilled vinegar which I thought was the same but the internet says is different, is it ok to put this through a hot wash in my washing machine like I do with white vinegar and will it clean it as well?

Thanks

what does it say the difference is?

says it's not as strong:

• White and distilled are types of vinegar. They differ fundamentally in their acetic acid content.
• White vinegar, also known as spirit vinegar, has 5-20% acetic acid. This is generally higher as compared to distilled vinegar’s 5-8%.
• White vinegar is made through the natural fermentation of sugar cane extract or by combining acetic acid with water. Distilled vinegar can be made from any type of vinegar by separating ethanol from the base mixture.

Both distilled and white vinegar can be used in cooking, cleaning, food preservation, and for medical and laboratory purposes. However, since white vinegar is stronger than its counterpart, it is more suitable for cleaning and disinfecting. Distilled vinegar, on the other hand, is better for cooking, flavoring, food preservation, and as a natural home remedy.

check your bottles ingredients to check the strength of what you normally use against what you have and adjust how much you use.

in a washing machine it will be diluted again anyway
