White vinegar is magic!

White vinegar, a multi-purpose cleaning product

Indeed, in this bottle which does not look like much, there is a liquid with cleaning, disinfecting, deodorizing and descaling power. Just that ! It is therefore perfect for descaling faucets and silverware, but also for deodorizing the refrigerator and cleaning baby's bath toys.
