St Mary's Weekly Eco Tip: Cleaning materials

Vinegar is a natural cleaning material, made by fermen-ting weak alcohol such as wine, and known for millennia – Christ was offered it on the Cross. White or malt vinegar is good for household cleaning and cheaper: half-fill your spray bottle and top it up with water. It can also clean copper, as on cooking pans, if you add a pinch of salt: vinegar (acetic acid) is a weak acid and the salt makes it a bit stronger.
