People took to the comments to share their thoughts.
Many vouched for her recipe from first-hand experience.

Others shared their favorite ratios for the recipe: “Not sure about her measurements. This is the amount I use. 1 gallon of vinegar, 1 cup of salt, and 1 tablespoon of dish soap,” said a third.
