Why Cloves and Vinegar?
Cloves and white vinegar are everyday items with extraordinary properties. Cloves, known for their warm aroma and natural anti-bacterial properties, combine beautifully with the cleaning power of white vinegar. Together, they create a natural, effective solution for cleaning and refreshing your home without relying on harsh chemicals.
How to Make Your Clove-Vinegar Solution
It’s simple and cost-effective! Here’s how you can make it:
- Take a jar or bottle with a lid.
- Add a handful of whole cloves (about 10-15).
- Pour in enough white vinegar to cover the cloves completely.
- Seal the jar and let the mixture sit for at least a week in a cool, dark place. This allows the cloves to infuse their natural oils and aroma into the vinegar.
