Recipe for Stain Remover With White Vinegar

There are different types of stains and many of them require different types of stain removers to return the material to its original condition. Some commercial cleansers are harsh and even dangerous to homemakers. Stain removers made from non-toxic ingredients that are readily available in many households are less dangerous and expensive while equally effective. White vinegar works well on a variety of surfaces and is a deodorizer as well as a disinfectant. When mixed with other household chemicals, white vinegar becomes even more effective on a broader range of stains.
