Today, various “folk” remedies that do not contain aggressive chemicals are increasingly used in everyday life. Most housewives prefer to use table, salt, soda and even the well-known carbonated drinks Coca-Cola and Sprite as cleaning and washing compounds. However, ordinary acetic acid is especially popular. This liquid perfectly replaces household chemicals, doing an excellent job of cleaning sewer pipes, removing dirt from tiles, bathrooms and showers, rust, mold and other unpleasant things. It also successfully serves as a disinfectant during wet cleaning of premises, capable of ridding your home of 90% of germs, viruses, bacteria and fungi in one fell swoop.
Acetic acid is a very useful and economical product, especially if it is not made by chemical manipulation without natural ingredients, but obtained by using fermented wine or juice in a distillation apparatus. In this case, it contains a lot of useful substances: selenium, calcium, zinc, iron, phosphorus, manganese, copper, sodium, potassium and carbohydrates.
Another important advantage of 70% vinegar is that in diluted form it can be used for purely culinary purposes, like regular table vinegar. As practice shows, diluting ordinary 9 vinegar from 70 essences is not at all difficult.
