Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a strong vinegar made from fermented apple juice. It has a pale color and is often available in unpasteurized or organic forms with beneficial bacteria known as "The Mother."
ACV is rich in nutrients like pectin, and vitamins B1, B2, B6, biotin, folic acid, niacin, pantothenic acid, and vitamin C, which can offer various health benefits. Studies suggest it might help manage blood sugar levels, make you feel fuller, and may have some anti-infection properties. Besides being a great addition to your diet, ACV can also be used for cleaning around the house. Let’s explore how.
The Benefits of Using Natural Cleaning Products
When buying cleaning supplies, it’s tempting to go for big discounts or promises of killing all germs. But these conventional products can harm your health and the environment. Even if they work well, they might not be the best choice for your values.
Natural products, like apple cider vinegar, are a safer option. ACV has antibacterial and antiviral qualities that make it great for cleaning. It’s useful for both personal care and cleaning around the house.

DIY Cleaning Solutions with Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is incredibly versatile and can be used for various cleaning tasks. Here’s how you can make the most of it:
Eliminate Odors:
Mix ACV with water in a spray bottle. Use it to spray around your office or home to remove bad smells and freshen up the air. It helps create a cleaner, more pleasant environment.
Weed Killer:
Spray undiluted ACV on weeds in your home garden. For tougher weeds, mix ACV with soap and lemon juice. This helps keep your garden tidy and presentable.
Kitchen Cleaning:
Add ACV to your dishwashing routine to kill bacteria and remove stains. You can also use it in the dishwasher for coffee cups and wine glasses. To clean stains on surfaces, apply ACV directly. For appliance care, wipe them down with a vinegar solution to maintain cleanliness.
Bathroom Cleaning:
Use diluted ACV to tackle mildew around sinks and toilets. For clogged drains, pour baking soda followed by ACV and hot water, let it sit, then rinse with boiling water.
Stains and Windows:
Use full-strength ACV for tough water stains on desks and surfaces. To clean wax stains, apply diluted ACV with a cloth. For streak-free windows, use full-strength ACV. It’s a great alternative to multiple cleaning products and helps brighten up your office with natural light.
Cleaning Floors:
Sweep or vacuum the floor, then clean with a solution of 1 cup ACV to 1 gallon water. Mop the floor and wipe dry to prevent slipping. ACV can also be used on carpets with a mix of ACV and salt or in a steam cleaner for removing stains.
