A useful bottle to keep in the cleaning cupboard, high strength vinegar can help with a range of everyday jobs around an accommodation property. This TasteMaker Home spray is labelled for general household use. TasteMaker vinegar is listed in 750 ml and 2 litre sizes at New World and PAK’nSAVE, although stock can vary by store. I’ve also seen cleaning vinegar at Bunnings, so it may be worth checking there too.
- Glass and mirrors: Dilute with water, spray lightly and wipe with a clean microfibre cloth.
- Shower screens: Try a diluted solution to help loosen light soap residue. Rinse and dry the glass afterwards.
- Washable rubbish bins: Wipe the inside with diluted vinegar, then rinse and let the bin dry before relining it.
- Laundry marks and odours: Test a little diluted vinegar on a hidden area first, then rinse or wash as usual. Avoid delicate fabrics such as silk and wool.
- Everyday wipe-downs: Use a diluted solution on suitable, washable surfaces, then wipe with clean water where needed.
