White Vinegar for wee stains

[Piggymum2025]

Hi all,

I’ve seen on here that white vinegar is great on wee stains (on plastic ) but please can anyone tell tell me what brand to buy? Thank you

Any brand of white vinegar will do the job. I just buy a supermarket own because it’s usually cheaper

There really is no difference in vinegars. If you buy branded you are often just paying for the name. Grab the cheapest

I just go for supermarket home brand

Thanks all. How long do you leave it on for and does it get rid of older stains that have been there for a while?

If you have older or stubborn stains warm the vinegar up a bit in the microwave and it usually does the job of removing the stain.

I just got one but it says white distilled malt vinegar, is that the wrong kind?

How much white vinegar do people use in the washing machine? I assume you put it in the fabric conditioner part of the drawer?

I just squirt a load in when using it to wash the fleece.. works a treat! Gets rid of all stains..

I'm being a bit slow! Do you squirt it directly into the washing machine drum or into the fabric conditioner compartment?

 

[Piggies&buns]

I put it in the conditioner compartment (or in the detergent bit depending on how good my aim is on that day!)

Do you just pour it on wait or do you scrub too? Thanks

I usually let it soak for a bit on stubborn stains, then give it a good scrub.
Vinegar is amazing stuff, when I've had none in the house and needed to clean up a cage I was borrowing during an emergency I actually used ketchup there was enough vinegar in there to work a treat! Took a few rises to get the tomato smell out though lol
