White vinegar contains natural acidic components that can break down limescale, grease, and detergent residues. It also has deodorizing and antibacterial properties. The preparation method is very simple: just mix 1 cup of white vinegar, 3 cups of filtered water, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, and 10 drops each of essential oils. Pour into a spray bottle and shake well before each use. People are advised not to use industrial vinegar, as it may harm the skin.

This homemade cleaner is suitable for a wide range of surfaces, including sinks, stainless steel appliances, glass, and wooden furniture. It is especially useful in humid areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. However, for stubborn stains on faucets, repeated use is recommended for best results.White vinegar mixed with peppermint, lavender, or citrus essential oils can help reduce its pungent smell (Image source: Pexels)
