Carpet cleaning isn't the only thing that you can use white vinegar for. 100-percent pure, distilled white vinegar is a nontoxic, eco-friendly cleaning supply and all-natural cleaning solution to use in your home. White distilled vinegar has a wide range of uses from using in your laundry to removing odors from rooms, cleaning light fixtures in your kitchen and bathrooms to removing spills and stains from carpets, cleaning windows, and so much more. White distilled vinegar is also an effective odor remover. You can use this all natural home cleaning ingredient by simply placing an open bowl of white vinegar in any room where there might be bad odors at nighttime, and in the morning, you can remove the bowl from the room the after the smell has dissipated. Another way you can use white vinegar for nontoxic cleaning is in your sinks and garbage disposals to remove odors. Simply pour some white vinegar into your sink or garbage disposal, then rinse with some fresh water after about one hour has passed.

You can also use white vinegar along with baking soda for doing your laundry. For glue stains, you can try loosening the dried on glue first by soaking a clean cloth in some white vinegar and then saturating the glue spot until it's gone. For grease stains try adding baking soda to the wash load or pretreating the grease stain with some baking soda paste (baking soda and water). For stubborn grass stains use about a 1/3 cup of white vinegar and 2/3 cup of water and apply the natural laundry detergent to the stain and blot. Then repeat the process as needed then wash as you normally would. For fruit, jam, mustard and coffee stains try rubbing a small amount of white vinegar gently onto the stain and then wash as usual. Chances are you will be surprised at just how well these natural laundry detergent stain removers work. The best part is that these natural stain removers are inexpensive, toxic-free and safe to use around your family and the environment.
