1. Combine: Pour 1 gallon of white vinegar straight into a large mixing container and add 1 cup of salt directly into the liquid.

2. Dissolve: Stir the vinegar and salt mixture continuously until the salt grains are completely dissolved.

3. Mix: Add 2 tablespoons of liquid dish soap to the vinegar and salt solution, blending gently so it does not foam up excessively.

4. Transfer: Pour the completed liquid solution carefully into a clean plastic spray bottle or a mechanical garden sprayer.

5. Spray: Coat the target ground ivy thoroughly, blasting the mixture directly onto the Creeping Charlie leaves until they are fully saturated.

6. Target: Apply the solution exclusively on a clear, sunny day, as the active vinegar components break down plant tissue best under direct sunlight.

7. Reapply: Treat the area again exactly one week later if any stubborn patches of ground ivy manage to survive the initial application.

8. Protect: Spray carefully around your yard because this potent, non-selective solution will quickly harm regular lawn grass and other desirable garden plants upon direct contact.
