What is the difference between cleaning vinegar and regular vinegar

Short answer: No. Long answer: While it only has 1% more acidity, cleaning vinegar, well, it's made for cleaning. Always read the instructions on the bottle. Depending on the brand, some may have scents included, but most have a regular white vinegar smell.

You should absolutely never cook with or consume cleaning vinegar. Most cleaning vinegar has a warning label on the packaging. Unlike cooking vinegar, it may not be tested for impurities that can be dangerous to the human body.

In recent years, vinegar has gained popularity as an all-natural cleaner. Many people like to use it to clean their sinks, countertops, and other household surfaces. Around the home, vinegar can help eliminate odors and remove dirt. It can also be mixed with other ingredients, like baking soda, to scrub hard surfaces.

It's important to note that regular, white vinegar is made up of about 5 percent acetic acid and 95 percent water. Cleaning vinegar has about 6 percent acidity. But that 1 percent is a big difference. It makes cleaning vinegar 20 percent stronger overall than its commonplace competitor.
