Rightfully so, when using green cleaning products the quality of air in your home improves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do a little googling, and you\u2019re bound to find cleaning with vinegar. It\u2019s not a new concept in cleaning, as vinegar has been used for thousands of years as an antiseptic. Its acidity is what makes it a good cleaning agent, and that\u2019s why it\u2019s a good substitute for many cleaning agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Cleaning_vinegar_vs_white_vinegar\">Cleaning vinegar vs white vinegar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular, <strong>white vinegar consists of about 5% acetic acid<\/strong> and 95% water. On the other hand, <strong>cleaning vinegar has an acidity of 6%<\/strong>. That 1% more acidity makes it 20% stronger than white vinegar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The environmentally friendly cleaning vinegar is safe for grown people, pets and kids. This makes it the perfect choice for cleaning indoors, whereas white, also known as spirit vinegar, works better for cooking. Just to get it out of the way: apple cider vinegar can also be used for cleaning, but it\u2019s brown colour is not recommended for laundry. Distilled vinegar is milder than white vinegar and will not be effective for cleaning.<br \/><a name=\"consuming-vinegar\"><\/a><br \/><strong>Do not confuse cleaning vinegar with industrial vinegar.<\/strong> This product is mainly used to kill off weeds and contains up to 20% acetic acid. When it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/cleaning-services\/\">cleaning, it\u2019s usually used by professionals<\/a> as it is really strong and requires protective gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t\t<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__title\">You may also like:<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__title -->\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__body\">\n\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"related-article__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/does-vinegar-kill-germs-or-bacteria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Is Vinegar Really Antibacterial?
