Can vinegar be used as a deodorant?

Answer 1

i would also like to know It has the power to deoderize because it is a super dry substance and it absorbs the odors that can smell. Charcoal has the same properties. On larger odors, like sewage spills, powdered lime is used to absorb the odor and neutralize the bacteria.

Answer 2

Distilled white vinegar is 5-10% acetic acid. Acids are very reactive in water; they donate protons which destroys organic molecules. Vinegar is concentrated acid, which means it can react with a large number of molecules without losing strength. Vinegar is a weak acid, meaning it is less reactive than strong acids, like bleach. Odor molecules are aromatic, meaning they contain many double or 1.5 (benzene ring) bonds, and they are susceptible to be broken. So where bleach reacts without almost everything, including dyes and fabric, vinegar is comparably weak and only reacts with odor molecules when applied for a short time.

Answer 3

Since vinegar is an acid, it's great for breaking up water mineral deposits. Vinegar can be used to dissolve buildups like lime deposits on drains, in sinks, and on shower heads.

It can also be used on windows.
