5 Litre White Vinegar

Summer Naturals promote cleaning with white vinegar and bicarbonate of soda to reduce damage caused by chemicals to the environment. Buy bulk vinegar to save money and reduce wasted packaging and all delivered to your door.

This white spirit vinegar with 5% acetic acid is ideal for chemical free green cleaning; it is kind to the environment and an economic way to clean. Vinegar has detergent and disinfectant properties so very versatile for use in the home. To prevent others complaining about the house smelling like a chip shop, a few drops of essential oil will help to mask the smell. White distilled vinegar is a malt vinegar and has a very pungent odour and whilst it is believed that white distilled vinegar is the most suitable cleaning vinegar the smell just isn't as easy to cope with. White Spirit vinegar has the same 5% acidity, its cleaning properties are identical to that of white distilled but its smell is milder and easier to mask. White spirit vinegar is brewed from molasses and contains no chemicals. This vinegar is food grade although we only sell it as a cleaning product.

A mixture of white vinegar and Bicarbonate of soda is a safe method of adding to drains and safe to use with septic tanks. Use a quarter of a cup of bicarb and half a cup of vinegar, this may need repeating for heavy clogging of the drains.

We thought about a few ways to reuse the empty vinegar containers and we came up with several. Cut the bottom off of the container and use as a coloured pencil tidy for children, if the edges are sharp you could cover with cut up pages from a magazine and stick them onto the plastic and cover with pva glue. The bottoms could also be used to place plant pots in or used in the garden as slug traps.
