Salad dressing, step aside. Apple cider vinegar may liven up your lettuce, but did you know that it’s also a miracle liquid, especially when it comes to keeping your house clean without chemicals?

Like all vinegar, apple cider vinegar has potent antimicrobial properties, making it an excellent way to clean your home. And unlike most cleaning products marketed to us for “miracle” cleaning properties, ACV contains no harmful ingredients. Studies have shown that vinegar can disinifect just as well as bleach! But it’s safer for your family and the planet.

You can dilute vinegar in with water (1:1 ratio) and it can be mixed with other natural cleaning products like lemon juice, salt, alcohol or essential oils. A note about baking soda, which is a common natural cleaning item: mixing baking soda and vinegar will impair the bacteria-killing properties of vinegar. (It’s a little science lesson: the alkalinity of the baking soda and the acidy of the vinegar neutralize.) So if you’re planning to clean surfaces that come in contact with food, it’s best not to mix with baking soda. You can mix the two, however, for cleaning your oven, or even unclogging drains.
