When cleaning lids is that spirit vinegar used, something I do use when rinsing wash machine mixed with bicarbonate soda powder, never thought for rims of lids, great tip!
Plenty going into the pantry once again, always enjoy learning new ways preserving.

I just clean the rims with white distilled vinegar. It cuts any fat that may have gotten on the jar. I am always putting something up for the pantry. Keeps me busy.
An easy tip to remember, over here they have grape vinegar and spirit vinegar that is why I asked, any vinegar should do the trick!
