    Default Does anyone have the receipe for making a cleaner with vinegar?

    I know there is a way to make an all purpose cleaner out of vinegar, water, and scents but don't know how much water and vinegar to use. Does anyone know? I need this for this morning.

    Thanks, Jessica.

    I use straight vinegar. It is a good disinfectant straight and the odor dissipates pretty quickly, IMO.

    I use 1/3 vinegar, 2/3 water (roughly). You can add a few drops of lavender oil but I don't bother. The vinegar smell dissipates almost immediately.

    i don't measure, i just do roughly 1:1 water and vinegar. i keep a spray bottle of it on my counter all the time. i also have a spray bottle just vinegar under the skin. if cleaning something particularly nasty or stubborn, i do 100% vinegar.

    I do 1/2 vinegar, 1/2 water in a spray bottle.

    I use it to clean all the countertops, kitchen table, TV/computer screens, mirrors, etc.
