DIY Non-Toxic Cleaner: How to Make a Vinegar Solution Without the Strong Smell
DIY Non-Toxic Cleaner: How to Make a Vinegar Solution Without the Strong Smell A recent online video by content creator "NonToxicDad" offers a simple, natural alternative for household cleaning, addressing a common complaint about vinegar-based solutions: their strong odor. The video demonstrates a step-by-step process for creating an organic cleaner that aims to be both effective and pleasant-smelling. The creator begins by emphasizing the efficacy of vinegar as a natural cleaner but acknowledges its pungent aroma, which deters many users. To mitigate this, he introduces a recipe combining one cup of white vinegar with one cup of RO or distilled water. To infuse a more appealing scent, lemon rind and a sprig of rosemary are added to the mixture. The preparation involves bringing these ingredients to a boil in a pot, then allowing the solution to steep for 24 hours. Following this infusion period, the mixture is strained and poured into a glass spray bottle, with additional fresh lemon rind and rosemary added directly to the bottle for continued fragrance. "NonToxicDad" highlights the safety of this homemade cleaner, stating that, unlike many commercial products, it is safe enough to be ingested. He encourages viewers to experiment with various fruit rinds and herbs, such as lavender and thyme, to customize scents throughout the year. The video concludes by inviting viewers to comment for more detailed instructions on using vinegar to clean their entire home. This DIY approach aligns with growing consumer interest in sustainable and chemical-free household practices.
