That unassuming bottle of white vinegar can quietly take over half the cleaning aisle in your home. Mixed with water, it turns glass and mirrors crystal clear without the chemical haze. Poured into your washing machine, it strips away moldy odors and detergent buildup, helping clothes and towels feel soft and smell genuinely clean again. Soaking cloudy glasses, hard‑water–stained faucets, and toilet rings, it dissolves stubborn mineral deposits that once seemed permanent.
On cutting boards, floors, accident spots, and pet-marked corners, vinegar doesn’t just mask smells; it neutralizes them at the source, making your home feel truly fresh, not perfumed. Paired with baking soda, it scrubs deep without scratching or poisoning the air you breathe. Even your flowers benefit, standing taller and brighter for days longer with a splash in their vase. In choosing this simple liquid, you’re not downgrading from “real” cleaners—you’re finally upgrading to something that works.
