I ventured forth today with vinegar and water in my cleaning bucket.

I just LOVE how everything sparkled even without having to buff with paper towel...but the whole family remarked about the smell!

Am I using too much vinegar? I went half hot water half vinegar....

I agree with the others- Vinegar might smell strong when wet but it leaves a sweet fresh smell behind when dried. Perhaps use less or see if anyone notices a few hours later.

I would use less...about a cup of white vinegar to a gallon of hot water is plenty. Hopefully when it is all dry it will just smell fresh!

Once it's dry you should have no smell at all except for fresh. When I mop the floors I put a bunch of hot water in a bucket and pour in about a cup of vinegar. If it smells so bad you may want to try 1/4 vinegar mixture to 3/4 water. Really, my house smells soooo fresh after I mop with vinegar and no one would guess what I clean with so maybe your mixture is too strong. Or they were commenting about it when it was still wet.

You shouldn't have any scent at all left when dry. I use straight vinegar most the time, and I have no scent at all in my home, it is so weird that you would have a scent.
