REVIEW - Dri-Pak Clean & Natural White Vinegar


I tried the White Vinegar in a number of ways and found it to be most effective as a hard surface cleaner. This included bathroom surfaces as a good all-round cleaner and on glass such as mirrors. For baths and sinks this product was effective at removing tide marks, although less so on the tough tide marks in the toilet. Whilst I normally just use water on mirrors and windows, the white vinegar didn’t leave a residue in the way that many chemical-based cleaners can. The mild vinegary smell was short lived.

REVIEW - Dri-Pak Clean & Natural Multi-Surface Cleaner




I tried this multi-surface cleaner on some of my hard surfaces such as in the bathroom and kitchen. It proved to be an effective cleaner which didn’t leave a residue. I barely noticed the lime fragrance but this wasn’t a problem as such as no smell was left behind. I’m certainly happy to continue using this product.
