Golden Swan White Vinegar for Cleaning, Pickling, Marinating & Cooking - Distilled White Vinegar- 5 Litre Bottle - Produced in The UK (1 Pack)

Product Information

It is made in the UK, and so it has been manufactured under strict standards. After spraying this organic weedkiller, you don’t have to wait for long for it to dry up; around 20 minutes, and then after another 24 hours, you can visibly see this stuff going to work as your weeds turn brown and wilt. Some brands sell products labelled as ‘cleaning vinegar’ rather than ‘white vinegar’. According to online store Grove, cleaning vinegar is 6% acid and 94% water, while white vinegar is 5% acid and 95% water. This means that cleaning vinegar is stronger and therefore more effective at cleaning. Organic weed killers can be quite smelly, particularly if you’ve gone with acetic acid as an ingredient, or even with vinegar itself, and this might be too unpleasant for some people if they are going to be using it in the greenhouse.

Killing your weeds is obviously not an exact science. A great deal depends on how you mix the weedkiller and the water, how you apply it, what the weather is on the day, what the weather is on the following day and how tough your weeds are. And all this is before you look at the quality of the weedkiller itself.

Where to Buy White Vinegar for Cleaning in the UK

So to save you some time and help you find a weed killer which won’t harm your fluffy little loved ones, we’ve searched high and low for the most effective products on the market, that won’t be toxic to pets and wildlife. For the green-fingered among us, there’s no better weapon than an all-powerful weed killer. It can help your garden stay clear of those unsightly growths without killing your good plants. Clean off any sediment with a stiff brush and rinse thoroughly with warm water. Run the showerhead a little, before showering to ensure all limescale is removed from the holes. While glyphosate is still technically labelled as being pet-safe, and the amount used in a shop-bought weed killer is likely to be too low to have a real effect, the WHO says it is carcinogenic to humans, so we wouldn’t recommend risking it.

White vinegar is made from acetic acid which has been diluted in distilled water, whereas white wine vinegar is (unsurprisingly) made from white wine. While small pots of vinegar are available from supermarkets, these are generally used for cooking and not cleaning. For cleaning, you want at least a 5L bottle of your chosen vinegar. Vinegar usually has a long shelf life, and it simply needs to be stored in a cool and dry place. Ease of Use For more persistent hard water stains, you can add rice to the vinegar and shake – this is a mild abrasive which will help to remove more staining. Other than that, you can use the weedkiller on whatever plants are growing where you don’t want them. Just don’t get any of it on your lawn. How to use the weed killer Ready to use or concentrated? If you’d rather not use weedkillers that contain glyphosate, then turn to more natural products such as the Golden Swan White Vinegar. For me, this is a great alternative to Weedkil Garden Weedkiller, you are basically making your own with very similar ingredients.Firstly, these products have a shelf life and won’t be effective forever, so if you buy a huge container full, but only use a little, you might end up having to throw most of it away, and that’s a waste of money.
