Why heat white vinegar?
This is a question I often ask myself.
Normal since I use white vinegar daily to clean the house.
And very often, it is advisable to heat it before using it.
So, I did my research to find out why white vinegar should be heated.
And if above all it was a good or (very) bad idea. Explanations:
Thanks to the particularly high acidity of white vinegar, its properties are truly incredible.
It is antibacterial, anti-limestone, antiseptic, stain remover, deodorant, weed killer... And so on, and the best!
So in these conditions, why heat the white vinegar you ask me?
Quite simply, because heated it is even more powerful and more efficient !
Heating it further increases its qualities.
It is therefore useful to heat the white vinegar to eliminate stubborn limestone, remove encrusted stains.
And it's the same if you boil it whether it's 14° or 8° white vinegar.
It is even more effective at acting against dirt, for deep descaling and removing stubborn stains.
Don't worry right away.
Heating your white vinegar is not dangerous.
You can even boil it without any problem! It is not toxic.
On the other hand, I advise you not to put yourself just above the vapors of white vinegar.
Because they smell particularly strong and the smell is very unpleasant.
Breathing the vapors may cause you to cough and sting your eyes.
But all you have to do is walk away and these inconveniences will stop right away.
Heating white vinegar is very easy.
There are several methods:
- You can put it in a bowl and put it in the microwave for about 4 minutes.
- You can pour it pure in a saucepan and heat it.
- Another solution:you can mix it with water before heating it.
In this case, pour 1/3 of white vinegar into a bowl and 1/3 of water. Put the bowl in the microwave and heat for 4 minutes.
Like white vinegar used cold, heated white vinegar is a natural multi-purpose cleaner.
The only difference is that its effectiveness is increased tenfold !
So you can use it all over the house to clean and disinfect.
