Cleaning Vinegar (5% Acidity)

Cleaning Vinegar (5% Acidity)

At Rose of Eden Home & Scents, we believe you deserve clear information about the ingredients used in our household cleaning products. Cleaning vinegar is a water-based solution containing acetic acid. The cleaning vinegar used in our All-Purpose Cleaner is labeled at 5% acidity.

What It Is

Vinegar is made when alcohol is converted into acetic acid. Household cleaning vinegar is an acidic liquid used in some cleaning formulas. The exact acidity matters because it affects how the ingredient behaves in a finished product.

Why We Use It

In our All-Purpose Cleaner, cleaning vinegar contributes acidity to the formula and helps with everyday cleaning on suitable, acid-tolerant surfaces. It is one part of a complete formula and is used alongside cleansing ingredients.

What to Know About the Formula

  • Listed acidity: 5% acetic acid.
  • Role: Acidic cleaning ingredient.
  • Not a disinfectant claim: Do not assume a vinegar-based cleaner disinfects or sanitizes surfaces unless the product is specifically registered and labeled for that use.
  • Surface compatibility: Because vinegar is acidic, avoid using vinegar-containing cleaners on natural stone such as marble, limestone, and travertine, as well as other acid-sensitive finishes. Test an inconspicuous area first.

Safe Use

Use each Rose of Eden product according to its label and directions. Never mix vinegar or vinegar-containing cleaners with bleach, as this can release hazardous chlorine gas. Do not mix cleaners together. Keep products away from children and pets, avoid eye contact, and store in the original labeled container.
