I want a cleaning spray that uses vinegar and does not have a harsh chemical smell.

Yes. If you want vinegar-based cleaning without the sharp vinegar/chemical smell, I’d look for a product that combines vinegar with a mild natural scent or plant-based surfactants.

Good options

• Aunt Fannie's All-Purpose Cleaning Vinegar Spray - $12.28 (Walmart - iHerb)

• Aunt Fannie’s All-Purpose Vinegar Spray — vinegar + plant-based cleaners + essential oils. The lemon version is specifically designed to avoid the heavy vinegar smell, while still being a general-purpose cleaner.Ivy & Fields

• Great Value Multi-Surface Cleaner with Vinegar, Unscented — inexpensive, ready-to-use spray with vinegar and an unscented formula.

• Harris Cleaning Vinegar, Eucalyptus — vinegar-based and eucalyptus-scented, so you get a fresher smell rather than straight vinegar.

• Mrs. Meyer’s Vinegar Gel — a good bathroom option if you prefer a lemon or apple scent.

For your specific preference, I'd start with Aunt Fannie's lemon or eucalyptus version. It uses vinegar but adds essential oils and plant-based cleaning agents, rather than simply spraying diluted vinegar.Ivy & Fields

One important note: vinegar cleaners are not substitutes for disinfectants, and vinegar shouldn't be mixed with bleach, ammonia, or hydrogen peroxide.southernliving.com+1

If you tell me whether you want it mainly for kitchen counters, bathroom, floors, or an all-purpose spray, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options.

Another option is Windex Vinegar Multi-Surface Cleaner; its manufacturer specifically describes it as having no harsh vinegar smell and a fresh, clean scent.SCJP+1

One important caveat: vinegar cleaners are acidic, so avoid using them on marble, granite/natural stone, and some wood or rubber surfaces.Tom's Guide+1

If you tell me whether you want fragrance-free, citrus, or a very mild scent, I can narrow it down to one or two options.

Try one of these vinegar-based sprays with a lighter scent:

• Aunt Fannie's All-Purpose Cleaning Vinegar Spray — vinegar-powered with plant-based cleaners and essential-oil scents like lemon or eucalyptus; a good choice if you dislike the sharp vinegar smell.
• Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Vinegar Gel Cleaning Spray — vinegar-based bathroom spray with scents like lemon verbena or apple blossom; designed for sinks, showers, and hard surfaces.
• Great Value Multi-Surface Cleaner with Vinegar — unscented option if you want to avoid added fragrance.

For a DIY version: mix 1 part white vinegar + 1 part water in a spray bottle and add a few drops of lemon peel or lavender essential oil if you want to soften the smell. Avoid using vinegar on marble, granite, or other acid-sensitive stone.

One caveat: vinegar cleaners shouldn't be used on marble, limestone, or other acid-sensitive natural stone, because the acidity can etch the surface.sunvine.com
