How to Use Apple Cider Vinegar to Clean Your Kitchen

It turns out that vinegar’s pH level has antibacterial properties and is a wonder odor killer. “Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a versatile and effective kitchen cleaner because of its natural acidic properties as the acidity helps break down grease grime and residue making it easier to wipe away” says Karina Toner a cleaning expert and Operations Manager at Spekless Cleaning DC’s top-rated maid service. It’s great for neutralizing odors so your kitchen smells fresh.

Strong or unpleasant odors can result from the presence of basic or alkaline substances so when cleaning with ACV the acidity in the vinegar neutralizes and balances the pH levels eliminating odors. “If you want to eliminate odors you can simply spray a solution of half vinegar and half water around the room as an air freshener” says Melanie Musson a home cleaning expert at Clearsurance.com. Additionally it also has antibacterial properties making it useful as a cleaning product in general.

Incorporating ACV into your regular cleaning routine can effectively prevent odors associated with bacterial decomposition and growth. Here's how to use apple cider vinegar in the kitchen for a cleaner fresher-smelling space.
