Reply to comment by funwithdesign in LPT: If your home/car has an odor you can use white vinegar as a extremely effective cleaning solution. by Alucard624

For real. Everyone loves talking about vinegar to clean but then the whole damn house smells like vinegar! Not a fan.

You might have the ratio off. Try mixing 2 tablespoons of vinegar with two cups of water in a spray bottle. The more vinegar you use the stronger the cleaning solvent, however the smell well last longer (however it will always dissipate in time)

I just recently bought vinegar (to unclog a drain, and yes it worked).

I forgot that the cap isn't very secure and ended up with vinegar spilled on my seat, which ended up in the little pocket in the seat joint (where the extra fabric is, to allow it to recline).

Smelled like vinegar for a few days, now it just smells nice and fresh! Clumsiness for the win, I suppose.

Good tip. I may try it some day. Grew up in a house where my aunt put way too much vinegar and cleaned the floors weekly. 🤮

Rob McElhenney (the real Vic Vinegar) talks about how his mother used to cover him in vinegar as a fly/mosquito repellent (while it does do this it’s generally recommended for dogs). He stated that it made him smell really bad and how it gave him PTSD every time he smelled vinegar. He did state the few times he didn’t use the vinegar the mosquitoes and flies went to town on him…
