White vinegar really lends itself to countless applications when it comes to cleaning. For example, for dark stains on the toilet, simply pour it generously directly on the stains (or on the floor if the problem is below the water level) and let it sit for about 20-30 minutes. The vinegar works by weakening the stain so you can clean it by scrubbing it with a toothbrush or sponge. In addition to cleaning, vinegar is an excellent ally for disinfecting, so regular use of this method will also help prevent stains from reappearing.
The application for shower glass is very similar. In this case, it is advisable to make a mixture of 250 ml of water, 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Ideally, pour the mixture into a spray bottle, spray it on the shower glass and let it sit for about 20 minutes. You can then proceed by rubbing with a sponge, rinsing with water and drying with a paper towel.
The same solution, but without baking soda, can also be used to clean tiles , both inside and outside the shower. For tiles, the dosages are slightly different, as the ratio should be 2/3 vinegar and 1/3 water. Again, the solution can be sprayed directly onto the tiles, left to soak in, and then removed with a damp cloth, rubbing if there are any stains or small moulds.
