Quick Useful Tips for White Vinegar

Vinegar: Quick cleaning tips to have a healthier, cleaner, chemical-free home.

1. Glassware
1/2 cup of distilled vinegar added to a gallon of rinse water will remove soap film from glassware and make it shine.

2. Toilet Bowl
Clean and deodorize your toilet bowl by pouring undiluted white distilled vinegar into it. Let it stand for 5 minutes then flush. Stubborn stains may require scrubbing.

3. Bathtub
Wipe down bathtub with vinegar and soda to remove film buildup. Rinse clean with water.

4. Ants
Ant invasions can be deterred by washing countertops, cabinets and floors with distilled vinegar.

5. Grease
Filmy dirt and greasy residue can be removed from the stove and refrigerator by wiping with vinegar.

6. Grass or Weeds
Kill unwanted grass on sidewalks and driveways by pouring on vinegar (apple-cider vinegar works well too).

7. Chrome
To polish chrome and stainless steel, moisten a cloth with white vinegar and wipe clean.

8. Shower curtain
Rub a cloth dampened with vinegar to remove soapy, steamed-in film and mildew from your plastic shower curtain. Rinse clean.

9. Coffee Maker
To remove coffee residue from your coffee maker, fill the reservoir with vinegar and run it through a brewing cycle. When cycle is finished, run two cycles of water to rinse.

10. Irons
Remove burn stains from your electric iron by mixing one part salt with one part vinegar in a heated small pan. Use this mix to polish the iron as you would silver.
