Belle Chemical 45% Pure Vinegar - Concentrated Industrial Grade (4-Gallons)

I purchased this for some grass/weed control in my driveway and patio. To be honest, I think this works just as well as the chemical weed killers from the big box stores. I'm not a tree hugger, but I do appreciate the fact that I'm not exposing myself (or family, neighbors, and local pets) to potentially poisonous chemicals. This stuff does have a very strong odor - much stronger than the other stuff - but it dissipates fairly quickly (unless you spill some in your garage lol).I used this on some grass/weeks coming up in the cracks on my driveway, patio and sidewalk. Sprayed fairly early in on a warm day and things were starting to get brown by the end of the day. A couple days later, everything was dead enough that I was able to scrape it off with a shovel with minimal effort.I suggest wearing gloves and eye protection. Don't think it would burn the skin with just a splash, but I definitely wouldn't want to get it in my eyes!Will buy again for future small weed/grass killing needs.

So I loaded some of this potent stuff into a water bottle sprayer and went outside and sprayed down some weeds with it. I didn’t bother diluting it at all because I was feeling a bit lazy and also because I wanted these weeds to get absolutely decimated. This stuff works! I did this during the middle of the day when the sun was at its brightest and hottest and let me tell you, within 30 minutes the weeds turned brown and shriveled up. You might want to wear a mask and goggles when you use this stuff. One whiff is enough to make it feel like your lungs are melting, also if the wind blows just right and your eyes get graced with this, it’s like a thousand onions kissing your eyeballs and you will cry!Cons: I smelled like vinegar to the tenth power for a few hours because the bottle I was sent leaked a bit through the cardboard Amazon box.

I used this as a 20% solution to get rid of weeds and grasses around our raised bed garden…. And NO WAY was I going to use poisons likeRoundup!Worked great… but you have to be VERY careful, as I ended up with skin peeling off several of my fingers when my gloves leaked while spraying the weeds. Luckily, it was only the top skin layer that peeled, but it made me much more cautious!Remember to throughly wash out your sprayer afterwards and keep the remaining vinegar in the original container and out of reach if every living thing… this stuff works, but it requires close attention and caution when using.

Cogon grass is one of the most invasive grasses. It spreads from seed, but way more with it's 2-3 feet underground roots (rhizome). I poured vinegar on it, it didn't come back. Actually the soft native grass came back really quick.

I bought this to kill weeds in my driveway and around the house without using a harsh poison like roundup, that is bad for me and all my animals, especially my free range chickens. I wasnt sure how well it would work but I was genuinely impressed, It worked phenomenal! The directions said to dilute it 50/50 with water but that was still so potent it hurt my eyes when spraying it, so I diluted it even more, 2 parts water, 1 part vinegar and it worked just as good! I might even try 3 to 1 next time because there was no noticeble difference with the 2:1 from the 1:1. All in all, its a great product.

I use this strong (“agricultural”) vinegar, mixed with simple liquid detergent and water, to control weeds. I substitute this mixture for the dangerous chemicals in Round-Up.

A good soak in this (straight) plus scraping with a sharp spatula is the only way I've found to get that brown gunk that grows on cookie sheets off. I also used it to clean out a toaster oven/air fryer where the oil gets everywhere and bakes on.You DO need to wear gloves because even the smallest amount can be irritating (this is a strong chemical) but it's super useful to have around for cleaning.

I diluted down to 30%, and it killed all grass and weeds I sprayed it on. Great to do this in an eco-friendly way! I am going to try to dilute next bottle down 1:1 to 22.5% and see if it works just as well. Works faster and Roundup, but the websites says horticultural vinegar only kills above ground growth, not weeds. So this might be perfect for annual weeds. For tough perennial weeds with deep root systems and rhizomes like Johnson grass and phragmites, I still use Roundup. For poison ivy, I use extra strength Roundup. But horticultural vinegar for all other weeds.

I've used 30% and 45% vinegar over the last few years for several applications. When it comes into play, we always use it at 100% strength; we do not water it down.In our garden, when there is a patch of weeds that's not too close to any vegetables, I spray this on, and it wipes them out fast. In the garden, I want to stay away from chemicals that leave a residue that lingers in the soil for years (think Killex and RoundUp) as we prefer not to ingest the stuff. The acetic acid here kills all green things but decays in the soil very quickly, which minimizes damage to nutrients and beneficial bacteria.I can spot apply it as well with a small handheld spray bottle, but for any weeds, in our lawn, I still need to go chemical since this kills all plant life, including the grass we want to keep, so this needs to be considered a nuclear option. This is a great option for getting rid of weeds and grass growing between the rocks we use as decoration in the front yard area. It also works to kill off the weeds that grow up in cracks that form in our cement sidewalk and driveway. Basically, if I need to get rid of a swath of weeds, even hard-to-kill stuff like quack grass, this will do it.We have a very fast-growing tree here which is commonly referred to as a Japanese Maple (I don't think that s what it is, but that is the name people use for it) which is very invasive. If I spray this on the leaves while it is still small, under a couple of feet, the leaves die off; the tree, however, does not. I found that if I let it grow for a couple of years till the trunk is at least an inch in diameter at the base, cut it off, drill a 1/4 inch hole down into the trunk, and then with a syringe, fill the whole with this it wipes out the tree and its roots. It does not come back.Besides the above, it also works very well for getting rid of things like the crud that accumulated in a sink. The toilet also comes out nice and clean when this is used.I discovered one more use for this a couple of weeks ago. As I mentioned, we prefer to stay away from chemicals that hang around for a long time; this includes any kind of bug spray. We have the usual amount of wasp nests that turn up in places like the garden shed, where we need to get access often. A few quick shots with the spray bottle from 10 feet away, and this takes care of the nest and any of the wasps hanging around on it.It is pricey, but I can usually go a couple of years on one bottle since it's used sparingly rather than trying to cover a large swath of the yard or garden.

Fantastic for killing weeds. Gives you the directions for making the weed killer. Note, it kills everything, so if using it on grass areas be prepared to lose the grass (which I was). This is my new "go to" for weed killing. I'm buying more to keep on hand. Also it came ahead of schedule. I'm very leary about third party sellers that aren't shipped by Amazon, but this one seems to be on the up and up.

Item was as described. Killed the weeds within a few hours. Ensure you aim at intended target. The vinegar is strong enough it will kill what ever else is around. Strong smell, reminded me of fries with vinegar....lol 😆Happy with product, would buy again and highly recommend to kill pesky weeds.

It kills gout weed and anything else it touches. I mixed it with equal amounts of water. 1 cup table salt and 1/4 cup dawn dish liquid.It took a few applications but it works. It’s safe for pets and wildlife.

I love the strength of this vinegar. I've used it for cleaning and killing weeds. It has worked wonders on both. Always wear gloves when using though bc it is very strong.
