White vinegar really is a miracle cleaner.
White vinegar is a must-have in your cleaning kit. It's colourless, leaves no trace or staining on surfaces and it's acidity gives it antiseptic and disinfectant properties that work miracles!
You can use white vinegar to clean up grease, shine surfaces and even remove odours.
Here are 11 ways we use it as a miracle cleaner at home:
1. Clean cutting boards
If you can't get colourful stain off your cutting board, use white vinegar and a sponge to do some scrubbing.
2. Descale kettle and coffee maker
Pour half a bottle of white vinegar into the kettle and turn it on. Then let it sit for a few hours before rinsing. For the coffee maker, do the same thing, but then run the appliance two cycles in a row with water to rinse the appliance thoroughly.
3. Make dishes shine
After washing your glasses, rinse them with white vinegar. You can also pour some into the rinse aid compartment in your dishwasher.

A bowl of water mixed with white vinegar will remove all of the stains in your microwave. Place the bowl in the appliance and run it for 5 minutes. The steam will then allow you to clean the walls of the appliance with a sponge, without having to scrub.
5. Remove stains from a carpet
Dilute white vinegar in water and use this mixture to scrub stains on carpets and sofas.

9. Clean Toilet bowl stains
Pour three cups of white vinegar into the toilet, add a few spoonfuls of baking soda and let it sit overnight. The next morning, brush it to remove stubborn odours and stains.
