White Vinegar (acetic acid) is the best eco-cleaner. It is made from the fermentation of ethanol that is distilled into a 5% acetic acid solution. Vinegar is a great cleaner because it is acidic. It reacts with mineral deposits often caused by hard water. It is also a disinfectant adding to its cleaning power. Vinegar is often mixed with baking soda which creates carbonic acid. This reaction releases carbon dioxide which makes the solution bubble. This reaction is good at
clearing clogs and cleaning sink drains. You can also use vinegar to clean counters,
appliances,
carpets,
laundry,
crystal, chrome, humidifiers,
coffee makers,
showers, toilets, and
furniture. For more uses visit our
