Vinegar has established itself as one of the best multi-use cleaning products for cleaning the house.\u00a0It is also an essential element that can be found almost everywhere.<\/p>\n

Non-toxic, it is the ideal alternative to traditional household cleaners which can be harmful to the environment.\u00a0Besides, it can do wonders for your kitchen!<\/p>\n

White vinegar is essential for cleaning and maintenance thanks to its antibacterial power and its acetic acid composition.<\/p>\n

And for good reason, the latter has formidable disinfectant and antibacterial properties to remove dirt.\u00a0This is what has earned white vinegar its reputation as a star of household products, particularly in the kitchen, where it allows you to clean the most inaccessible corners.#hsm<\/p>\n

18 Places in Your Kitchen to Clean with White Vinegar
\nBefore you begin, know that it is best to dilute white vinegar in equal parts with water so that its acid content does not affect the surfaces in your kitchen.<\/p>\n

You can also pour the solution into a spray bottle for optimal use.\u00a0Without further ado, here are the 18 areas of your kitchen that you can treat with this powerful and eco-friendly cleaner.<\/p>\n

1. The cook<\/p>\n

Grease residue can easily be dislodged thanks to the acidity of this multi-purpose cleaner.<\/p>\n

Spray the solution of water and white vinegar on your stove and leave to act for 10 to 15 minutes.\u00a0You will then just need to scrub with soapy water so that the grease disappears visibly and the cooker shines.<\/p>\n

It is best to replace bleach with your white vinegar solution to avoid possible risks of contact with food.\u00a0Using a spray bottle, disinfect the sink and everything around it, including your counters.\u00a0Afterwards, rinse the sink with soapy water.\u00a0It can also be useful to pour salt into your sink to purify the pipes and combat bad odors.<\/p>\n

3. Stainless steel pots and pans<\/h6>\n

For deposits in stainless steel pots and pans, boil water and white vinegar for a few minutes in these containers.\u00a0\u00a0The more resistant the grease turns out to be, the more vinegar you will need to add.\u00a0Then, once you have degreased your utensils, empty them of the solution and wash them with soapy water.<\/p>\n

4. The ground<\/h6>\n

Again, the white vinegar solution allows you to clean the kitchen floor.\u00a0You will therefore not need expensive cleaning products to obtain a shiny clean surface.\u00a0All you need is a bucket of water to which you will add a few tablespoons of white vinegar.\u00a0Then dip your mop in the liquid or scrub the floor with a sponge soaked in this mixture to remove stubborn stains.<\/p>\n

\"microwave<\/a>

5. The microwave<\/h6>\n

Pour your water and vinegar mixture into a microwave-safe bowl, and heat it for about 5 minutes.\u00a0This will remove dirt using steam.\u00a0All you have to do is wipe with your sponge for a clean oven.\u00a0Moreover, it is also possible to clean your microwave thoroughly with just a lemon.<\/p>\n

Caution: Always wait 20 seconds before removing the bowl to avoid splashing hot water and use oven mitts as the container will also be very hot.<\/p>\n

6. Enamelled steel pans and saucepans<\/h6>\n

Like stainless steel utensils, enamel pans and pots can easily be cleaned with white vinegar.\u00a0To do this, boil water and vinegar to soften the residue, leave for a few minutes then scrub with soapy water before rinsing.<\/p>\n

\"kettle<\/a>

These everyday appliances can provide a breeding ground for bacteria, in addition to very quickly accumulating limescale and mineral deposits.\u00a0To get rid of them, pour equal parts water and white vinegar into the kettle then boil the solution.\u00a0Once done, rinse with clean water.<\/p>\n

For automatic coffee machines, you may need to add more plain water to remove the vinegar smell.<\/p>\n

8. Cooking plates<\/h6>\n

Plug your sink and immerse your plates in hot water.\u00a0Add a mixture of half a cup of baking soda and another half cup of white vinegar.\u00a0The reaction of this mixture will help eliminate grease residue.\u00a0Leave everything to soak for 30 minutes to 1 hour then scrub the plates using a scouring pad or steel wool.<\/p>\n

9. Stainless steel household robots<\/h6>\n

To eliminate bad odors from your electrical appliances, start by unplugging the plug, then take a microfiber cloth that you soak in vinegar.\u00a0You will just have to use the latter to wipe the bowl.<\/p>\n

10. White spots on lenses<\/h6>\n

Due to its concentration of minerals, hard water can leave your glasses with cloudy residue.\u00a0To remove stains, place the glasses in the sink and let them sit in a water and vinegar solution for a few minutes.\u00a0The vinegar will dissolve the minerals and keep the glasses shiny.\u00a0You will just have to wash them normally.<\/p>\n

11. The pressure cooker sealing ring<\/h6>\n

Some containers have a sealing ring which, over time, can accumulate stains, mold and release bad odors.\u00a0To get rid of it, fill your sink with water and white vinegar and soak the ring in it (ideally for 1 hour).\u00a0Then wash it with dishwashing liquid before letting it dry.<\/p>\n

If you don’t want to use the sink to treat your seal ring, pour the solution of white vinegar and water into your pressure cooker, adding lemon juice.\u00a0Then run a steam cycle until the stains and dirt disappear.<\/p>\n

12. The spice mill<\/h6>\n

Your spice grinder can also benefit from the cleaning power of white vinegar.\u00a0This is because this kitchen tool can easily be\u00a0\u00a0stained by ingredients such as turmeric\u00a0.\u00a0Clean it by carefully wiping the surfaces with a cloth dampened with white vinegar.<\/p>\n

13. The knife holder<\/h6>\n

The inside of a knife holder could be home to a lot of dirt.\u00a0To clean it thoroughly, take a paper towel soaked in white vinegar and wrap it around a table knife.\u00a0Insert it into the slots of your block to remove any residue.<\/p>\n

14. The plastic cutting board<\/h6>\n

The plastic cutting board is a surface that accommodates several types of food.\u00a0It should therefore be washed regularly and disinfected.\u00a0To do this, there is nothing better than a mixture of white vinegar and water.\u00a0Here you can use your cleaning spray to spread the solution over the entire surface.<\/p>\n

15. The dishwasher<\/h6>\n

Dishwashers are generally easy to clean, but they can suffer from a buildup of mineral deposits.\u00a0To remove them, pour a cup of vinegar into the bottom of the dishwasher under the rack then run an empty wash cycle.\u00a0This process is very effective.<\/p>\n

16. The trash can<\/h6>\n

You can ensure that your garbage does not emit foul odors.\u00a0To do this, each time you take out the trash, spray its interior and the lid with the vinegar and water mixture.\u00a0Then wipe with a cloth.<\/p>\n

18. The refrigerator water dispenser<\/h6>\n

This area of \u200b\u200bthe refrigerator can store mold, mineral deposits, yeast or even limescale\u00a0.<\/p>\n

It will be easy for you to chase them away by using a small brush (for example, an old, used toothbrush) to dip in vinegar and with which you will clean the inside and outside of the small water tap.\u00a0Once the water dispenser is cleaned, activate it to ensure the vinegar is drained.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
