1 Review of Vinegar Solution for Clean Walls and Baseboards

reviewer icon

From: mums the word

On Nov 3, 2009

So, I was looking at my walls around the light switches and door jambs and thinking ewww! (Oh, and lets not forget the top of the door jambs where my little darlin's like to jump and touch to see how tall they've grown leaving grubby little black streaks everywhere.) Anyways...I found your "recipe" today and decided to try it. Of course I always pay extra money for the "scrubbable" wall paint and of course it always streaks when you wipe it. I mixed up a half batch of your solution and wiped down the stairwell which has butter yellow coloured walls. (What was I thinking with kids in the house?) The little smudges wiped right off and when I saw how dirty the water was when I finished, I dumped it and mixed another half batch and continued on my merry way. It seems to have worked very well, and though it is an overcast day, I do not see streaking everywhere which says alot more than my usual cleaning methods. My only suggestion would be to mix the solution in smaller batches so that you can change your water more often, assuming your kids are as dirty as mine apparently are. Thanks Abby!
