This Vinegar Life Hack Will Save You 10 Hours of Cleaning a Month: Check It Out
You dust three times a week, but it comes back again?
It turns out you've been using vinegar incorrectly all this time.
According to a study in the Journal of Cleaning Science , adding 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to a vinegar solution increases its antistatic effect by 70%, preventing dust from settling on surfaces for up to 5 days.
Renowned cleaning expert Maria Sokolova admitted in an interview with Good Housekeeping :
"Household chemical manufacturers hide this method because it replaces 90% of their products."
How does it work? Mix 200 ml of vinegar, 50 ml of lemon juice and 300 ml of water in a spray bottle. Wipe the surfaces – dust will not appear for at least 4 days.
User of the forum "Housekeeping" Anna K. confirms:
"I used to wash windows every 3 days. Now I do it once every 2 weeks!"
But be careful: vinegar can damage marble and wood. For such surfaces, add 1 tbsp. olive oil - it will create a protective film.
The history of vinegar as a cleaning agent dates back to Ancient Rome, where it was used for disinfection.
Modern research Historical Cleaning Methods confirm: acetic acid kills 99% of bacteria in 10 minutes. But why is this kept quiet?
Marketing expert Ivan Trofimov reveals:
"Manufacturers make billions on antibacterial sprays. If people found out about vinegar, the market would collapse."
Additional life hack: to descale your washing machine, pour 500 ml of vinegar into the drum and start the “boil” mode.
