Vinegar/Water cleaner?

[cjcouple]

TTMA cleaning with this please.

What do you clean with it? Is it just in a spray bottle? Do you add any scents? I'm interested in more natural products but not sure if I'll like it.

I use an inexpensive spray bottle with equal parts vinegar & water to spray the glass shower doors. No scents. I did not believe it would keep the glass doors clean and I was happily proven wrong. Sparkling, really.

It actually works better than all the brand named stuff I previously tried. It does smell like vinegar but that’s okay to me and it does not linger and leaves things neutral and nice.

I do 1 cup vinegar to 2 cups hot water, 10 drops of blue dawn, and about 15 drops of peppermint essential oil. Smells amazing. And my glass shower surrounds sparkle. I spray heavily, let sit for 15 minutes, use my shower sprayer to rinse, and then squeegee. Floors get scrubbed with the same mixture.

We do half water and vinegar and add a scented oil. We use it as an all purpose cleaner. Def spray it on the floor and swiffer it to spot clean too.

I don’t measure. Vinegar, water and a bit of Dr Bronners (I think) soap. We use it on all counter tops and on the floors with reusable swiffer pads.

1:1 in a spray bottle. I use on windows and mirrors because it doesn’t leave streaks. Was amazing when u used to have newspaper to wipe with, but don’t get any anymore.

For those that use it in their glass showers, do you have hard water? I’m so over battling limescale and can’t figure out a way to keep it away. I’m looking into a home water softener, but may just try a special shower head first. I won’t go back to any liquid products for environmental reasons, which is probably not helping things either.

I had the worst hard water and it etched my glass shower doors. I eventually ripped out my semi new very expensive glass doors and went with a shower curtain. It looks nice and it's so nice not to have to scrub stupid glass doors all the time.

😳 I definitely don’t want to do have to do that! Did you try one of the shower head filters? I just bought one on Amazon, so definitely want to give that a try before resorting to any $$$ options or extremes. But mine isn’t etching the glass, it’s just heavy build up at the bottom of the glass and tiles. It comes off with heavy scrubbing and chemical stuff but I prefer to not have to do that with any regularity.

I didn't, honestly didn't even know they existed until you mentioned it. But honestly it was just way to much maintenance in my life. Even with the filter you'd still have to scrub off soap scum.
