HOWEVER!!

Here Are Five Reasons Why Vinegar is One of the Best Cleaners…
- Vinegar Cuts Through Grime and Grease
Vinegar cuts through grease and grime because it is a mild acid that breaks down the grease and removes stains. It has also been shown to remove some bacteria from surfaces when diluted with water. - Vinegar Can Also Disinfect Surfaces and Reduce Bacteria
The acidity of vinegar is powerful enough to break down dirt, grease, oil, stains, mold, mildew, fungi, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It also kills germs on contact by breaking down the cell walls of the microorganisms so they can’t reproduce or cause infection. - Vinegar Can Cut Through Stubborn Stains in Your Clothes Without Bleaching
Vinegar can break down proteins in the fabric and loosen the stain so that it can be washed away. This is especially helpful when you have a food or oil-based stain on your clothes. - Vinegar Rids Soap Scum and Hard Water Spots
It can be used to clean surfaces like windows, countertops, sinks, and even the toilet. When it comes to cleaning soap scum and hard water spots on shower doors or glass shower enclosures, vinegar is highly effective in these areas. It is important to know that vinegar can damage some surfaces if not diluted properly. Vinegar should never be used full strength on any surface because it will cause irreversible damage. - Vinegar is a Natural Way to Keep Ants Away
Ants are attracted by the smell of sugar and vinegar has a sour, acidic smell that masks the sweetness of the sugar. To make your own natural ant deterrent, mix 2 tbsp of white vinegar into 1 quart of water in a spray bottle and shake well to ensure that it’s mixed well. Spray on surfaces where ants can get into your home (such as windowsills) and on plants that attract them (such as citrus plants). This will help you save money, time, and energy!
