5. **Prevents Germ Build-Up Over Time**
By incorporating vinegar into your nightly routine, you create a habit that prevents the build-up of germs and dirt over time. Regularly cleaning doorknobs with vinegar ensures that they’re kept free of grime, dust, and bacteria, making it easier to maintain a cleaner, healthier home in the long run.
Rather than waiting for your doorknobs to get visibly dirty, taking a minute each night to spray them with vinegar helps prevent the accumulation of grime, reducing the need for deep cleans.

### How to Use Vinegar on Doorknobs
If you’re ready to try this simple trick, here’s how to do it:
1. **Choose Your Vinegar**: White vinegar is the most commonly used type for cleaning because it’s effective and leaves no staining or residue. Apple cider vinegar can also be used, but it has a stronger scent.
2. **Prepare the Spray**: Fill a spray bottle with vinegar. You can use it straight from the bottle, but if you want to add extra disinfecting power, dilute the vinegar with water (about 1:1 ratio).
3. **Spray the Doorknobs**: Lightly mist the doorknobs with the vinegar solution before bed. Make sure the knobs are fully coated but not dripping wet.
4. **Let It Sit**: Leave the vinegar to work its magic overnight. It’ll dry by morning, leaving your doorknobs clean, disinfected, and odor-free.
