Hello,
I'm by no means a chemist, simply a guy looking for a solution. I'm in the process of creating a type of all natural cleaner. One of the ingredients is white distilled vinegar. The de-greasing power of the vinegar is the required need. The problem is the odor.
Can anyone recommend a natural replacement? The intended use of the cleaner will include white clothing; therefore a replacement can't have any dying capabilities.
Or if there's a way to mask the vinegar odor, I'd be interested to hear about any options.
Again, looking to make this 100% natural and to be dispensed via a spray bottle.
Thank you in advance for any and all help.

For some stuff we are doing, we are going to try citric acid as a replacement for acetic acid.

Seems to me your application may not need to be so rigorous as to need pure citric acid
maybe lemon juice could work
