18 Places You Should Clean in Your Kitchen with White Vinegar

Kitchen Floor: Mix a few tablespoons of white vinegar in a bucket of water. Use a mop or sponge to remove tough stains, leaving your floor shiny without expensive detergents.

Microwave: Heat a bowl of vinegar solution for about 5 minutes, letting the steam loosen the dirt. Then clean with a sponge. A lemon can also be used for a deeper clean.

Caution:

Caution: Wait 20 seconds before removing the bowl to avoid hot water splashing and use oven mitts.

Enameled cookware: Similar to stainless steel, boil water and vinegar in enameled cookware to soften residue, then clean with soapy water.

Coffee makers and kettles: Fight bacteria and limescale by boiling a vinegar-water mixture in these appliances, followed by a clean water rinse. For coffee makers, additional clean water may be needed to eliminate vinegar odors.

Burner plates: Soak the plates in hot water with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar to break down grease. Let it sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour, then scrub with a scouring pad.

Stainless steel appliances: Unplug appliances and wipe them with a microfiber cloth dipped in vinegar to remove odors.

Glassware: To remove hard water spots, soak glasses in a vinegar and water solution, then wash as usual for crystal clear results.

Pressure Cooker Sealing Ring: Soak the sealing ring in a vinegar-water solution in the sink (ideally for an hour) or run a vinegar-water-lemon juice steam cycle in the stovetop to remove stains and odors.

Spice Grinder: Clean your grinder with white vinegar to remove odors and lingering residue.

By harnessing the cleaning prowess of white vinegar, you can ensure a more sustainable, effective, and safe cleaning routine for your kitchen, improving its cleanliness and functionality.
