From a natural disinfectant to a universal mosquito trap: how to use vinegar in everyday life

Vinegar offers versatile and environmentally friendly solutions that every housewife can apply in her household. UAportal has shared practical life hacks that make housework easier.

Universal cleaning agent

Vinegar can serve as a natural and cost-effective multi-purpose cleaner for different areas of the home. By mixing equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle, you can effectively clean and disinfect kitchen countertops, sinks, and appliances.

This solution can be used to wipe glass surfaces and remove water stains. In addition, the natural antibacterial properties of vinegar make it suitable for removing stubborn odors from cutting boards and for freshness in the kitchen.

Natural fabric softener

Instead of commercial fabric softeners, vinegar can be used as a natural alternative to soften and freshen laundry. Add half a cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle of your washing machine to eliminate detergent buildup and your clothes will be soft and fresh.

A trap for midges

When midges appear in the kitchen, vinegar can be used to create an effective trap. A small amount of apple cider vinegar should be poured into a jar, adding a drop of dish soap. The sweet aroma of the vinegar will attract midges, and the active properties of the soap will drown them.
