White vinegar is something of a super tool when it comes to cleaning. It's non-toxic, inexpensive, easy to find, and cleans, oh, just about everything: It brightens windows, freshens laundry, banishes spots on carpeting, and much more. A spray-bottle of a vinegar solution is great to have around for pesky cleaning tasks (though, avoid using it on marble countertops and hardwood floors, since the acidity could damage them). We found seven recipes to punch up the cleaner with scents that make your house smell great, too.
1. A Hint of Citrus: Laicie at A Thousand Threads adds orange peels to her cleansing solution for a bright, summery scent.
2. Lemony Fresh Scent: Other citrus works well, too, like these lemons. Plus, the fruit's acid cleanses similarly to vinegar.
3. An Earthy Option: Or, infuse your solution with sage, like Krys at Melodrama.
4. A Balanced Blend: Herbs also smell lovely with citrus. Erica at Northwest Edible Life added rosemary to her mix.
5. Spicy and Sweet: This recipe adds interest with cinnamon sticks and vanilla beans.
6. A Relaxing Aroma: This blogger infused her vinegar solution with lavender.
7. Play with Oils: Essential oils come in many fun scents (and some may kill bacteria and mold). Kate at The Hip Girls' Guide to Homemaking added peppermint oil to her vinegar solution. Just be sure to shake to combine before using.
