Store your vinegar cleaner in a cool, dark place — it stays effective for months.
Always label your spray bottle to avoid confusion with other cleaners.
Test a small area first when using on stone surfaces (like granite or marble), as vinegar can etch them.
Variations:
Vinegar and Baking Soda: For stubborn drains or tough grime, sprinkle baking soda first, then spray with vinegar for a natural fizzy reaction that deep cleans.
Citrus-Infused Vinegar: Soak citrus peels (like lemon or orange) in vinegar for a few days to create a naturally fragrant version before mixing with water.
Vinegar and Dish Soap: Combine vinegar with a squirt of dish soap for an even stronger bathroom and tile cleaner.
