Because white vinegar is great! But white vinegar gel is even more effective.

All you have to do is clean your toilet easily thanks to the spout of the bottle.
This white vinegar gel is even more effective than liquid household white vinegar.
And it costs next to nothing!
While vinegar gels sold commercially or on Amazon are relatively expensive.
Vinegar gel is an essential economical product for cleaning the whole house naturally.
Non-toxic, it is anti-limescale, descaling, disinfectant and deodorant.
No need to go to Carrefour, Intermaché, Leroy Merlin, Super U, Castorama or Leclerc, to buy Briochin or Starwax white vinegar gel!
Just follow this very simple tutorial to make your white vinegar gel.
Before using it, shake your bottle for a few moments.
Pour a thin layer all around the bowl as with the Harpic.
Then leave to act for 10 minutes to an hour, depending on the dirt or traces of limescale.
Then rub with a sponge or microfiber cloth and rinse.
Obviously white vinegar gel is perfect for cleaning the toilet bowl.
But it's far from the only use!
It also cleans windows without leaving streaks, cleans the bathroom, shines the floor, disinfects surfaces, degreases the kitchen...
In short... It is useful for everything!
I use it to clean the doors and the walls of the shower full of traces of limestone.
And since then they are perfect!
It is particularly effective for cleaning wall tiles.
- Several kinds of gelling agents can be used:guar gum, agar-agar or xanthan gum. The choice is yours, it's the same efficiency!
- Essential oils are also optional. You can choose essential oil of lemon, lavender, lavandin, tea tree, mint, eucalyptus, Scots pine, orange...
The essential oils pleasantly perfume the gel.
But depending on the essential oil you have chosen, it also provides a disinfectant and antibacterial action.
- Food coloring is completely optional. It simply allows you to better see where the product is applied.
What if I told you there is none!
White vinegar and gel vinegar have the same properties.
Only the texture changes. The texture of vinegar gel is thicker than white vinegar.
As it is much less liquid, it does not run.
It also dries less quickly.
So the good news...
It is that it can be used on vertical or inclined surfaces.
For example, it will hold better on the kitchen splashback, the hood, the shower walls...
And of course the toilet bowl!
And in addition, we tend to put less.
Which is more economical!
White vinegar is a super effective non-toxic natural product for a multitude of things.
It is a descaler, degreaser, deodorizer, disinfectant and fabric softener...
White vinegar gel is even more effective than liquid white vinegar.
Why ? Because it adheres to the walls.
The gel's viscous formula gives it more time to work.
Thanks to its thicker texture, it does not run.
This explains why it dissolves dirt and limescale even better.
