What To Do With Vinegar: Part I

Yes my friends, vinegar has many uses around the house, it's not just great in salad dressings (stay tuned for more posts on how to use it in cooking).

And have no fear, if you detest the smell of it, just drop some rose petals or a few drops of essential oils in it to infuse a pleasant scent.

Here's a short run down of the many things that can be done with it:

1. Use vinegar as your dishwasher drying agent (instead of something like JetDry)
2. Use in spritz bottle to sanitize your kitchen counters instead of using harsh chemicals
3. Mix with water and use it to mop your floors with (be sure to check your manufacturer's warnings to make sure that it is safe to use on your floors)
4. Instead of buying expensive fabric softener use a few tablespoons of vinegar
5. Shine up your stainless steel and chrome with it instead of buying that expensive cleaner
6. Stinky garbage disposal? Freeze vinegar in an ice cube tray, place in disposal & run it with cold water.
7. Stinky buildup in your dishwasher? Use vinegar in the soap dispenser. Run it through a regular cycle without any dishes in it.
8. Forget to take the clothes out of the washer and put in the dryer? Now they smell mildewy...YUCK! To get the smell out, wash with a few cups of vinegar in HOT water. Then wash on normal cycle with your detergent.
