What kind of vinegar used for cleaning?
And please share what you clean with it and your measurements for your solution for each cleaning job. I need to figure out how many spray bottles of what concoction to make and how to label them. Tia
Re: What kind of vinegar used for cleaning?
I use white vinegar, and I've gotten my measurements/recipes from here:

And some tips from here:

As for spray bottles, I have used some new ones, but I've also used up an old cleaner, and re-used the empty bottle (washing it first, and I've never re-used a bottle that had bleach in it).
I have this book with lots of recipes and tips.
My very favorite all purpose cleaner is one I make myself. It's 4 Tbsp white vinegar, 1 Tbsp borax, 1/2 C isopropyl alcohol, and HOT water to fill a 32 oz sprayer. Has to be super hot for the borax to dissolve. Then I add 15 drops of lemongrass essential oil, and 1 drop of green and 1 drop of yellow food coloring. I call it "Mean Green Clean!" (Yeah, I'm a dork).
I do lightly color the cleaning products I make so I can easily tell them apart.
