i love vinegar.

top 10 reasons why:


1. Make your fresh flowers last longer.  Add two tablespoons of vinegar plus three tablespoons of sugar per quart of warm water. Stems should be in three to four inches of water.

2. Eliminate animal urine stains from carpet. Blot up urine with a soft cloth, flush several times with lukewarm water, and then apply a mixture of equal parts vinegar and cool water. Blot up, rinse, and let dry. (I’ve never had to do this because my dog is perfect and has never peed in the house)


3. Relieve dry and itchy skin. Add 2 tablespoons to bath water.

4. Remove that icky musty smell from towels and workout clothes. Add a cup of vinegar to the last rinse water. The acid in vinegar is too mild to harm fabrics but strong enough to dissolve the alkalis in soaps and detergents.

5. Get your dishes to sparkle. Clean the dishwasher by running a cup of vinegar through the whole cycle once a month to reduce soap build up on the inner mechanisms and on glassware.

6. Clean and deodorize the garbage disposal by making vinegar ice cubes and feed them down the disposal. After grinding, run cold water through.

7. Non-Toxic cleaning for the bathroom. Remove soap scum, mildew, and grime from bathtub, tile, and shower curtains. Simply wipe the surface with Vinegar and rinse with water.

8. Deodorize the air. Vinegar is a natural air freshener when sprayed in a room.
Make your furniture look new again.

9. Remove stubborn rings resulting from wet glasses being placed on wood furniture by rubbing with a mixture of equal parts of distilled vinegar and olive oil. Rub with the grain and then polish for the best results.

10. Feel good recipe. A teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water, with a bit of honey added for flavor, will take the edge off your appetite and give you an overall healthy feeling.


(not to mention the fact that it is very cheap and good for the environment)
