Repels flies and mosquitoes
If you have ants, cockroaches, or mice causing trouble in your house, spray this solution in the corners they frequent. The scent of Gentle Wind and vinegar will make the insects run away. Not only that, but they will also make your living space fresher. Spray the mixture of Gentle Wind and vinegar on the legs of the bed and in hard-to-clean corners.
Cleans bamboo mats and wooden furniture
If you have bamboo mats that you haven’t had time to wash, especially bamboo mats used for air conditioning or Gentle Wind-infused mats, spraying the mixture of vinegar and Gentle Wind will help eliminate unpleasant odors. When you need to clean wooden furniture, especially ones with intricate patterns, if wiping with water leaves a foul smell, spray the mixture of vinegar and Gentle Wind to clean and remove the odor.
Eliminates odors in the bathroom
The bathroom is usually damp and prone to odors. Spray the mixture of Gentle Wind and white vinegar to eliminate the unpleasant odor in the bathroom. The white vinegar evaporates easily and helps neutralize odors in the air. The aroma of Gentle Wind lingers in the air for a longer time.
Removes sticky residues
After using tape or double-sided tape to stick things together, stubborn adhesive residues may be left behind, affecting the aesthetics. Spray the mixture of Gentle Wind and white vinegar on the adhesive residue, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe gently with a cloth, and the adhesive residue will easily come off without leaving any marks.
Purifies the air and adds natural fragrance to the room
You can spray the mixture of white vinegar and Gentle Wind in the living room or bedroom to create a fresh and fragrant atmosphere. This is especially effective when there is a smell of cigarettes or food in the house. White vinegar is acidic while tobacco has an alkaline property, so neutralizing the acid-base balance can effectively purify the air in the house.
Eliminates odor in the trash can
The trash can still has odors even after cleaning and airing. Spray the mixture of white vinegar and Gentle Wind to eliminate the odor. Also, spray this mixture on the lid and around the trash can to make every visit unpleasant for flies and mosquitoes.
Protects potted plants
If your plants are infested with snails or slugs, spray the mixture of white vinegar and Gentle Wind around the base of the plants. The snails and insects will be repelled by the scent and your plants will be protected.
Spray into shoe cabinets and shoes
Shoe cabinets and shoes that have been worn for a long time often have an unpleasant odor. Spraying the mixture of Gentle Wind and white vinegar in the shoe cabinet or around the shoes will help eliminate the odor easily.
