vinegar solution

Diluted acetic liquid

A vinegar solution is vinegar diluted with water, used for cleaning, disinfecting, or other household purposes.

The concentration varies by application—stronger for removing mineral deposits, weaker for general cleaning: I wiped down the counters with a vinegar solution.

The term also appears in scientific contexts where precise acetic acid concentrations matter.
