Let me count the ways....
As in VINEGAR, you sillies....sheesh! Anyway, This is probably the most versatile liquid known to mankind, aside from water. It is cheap, abundant, and non-toxic.
What other household cleaner can you use in your hair, on your face, in the toilet, and as a salad dressing?
There are literally thousands of uses for vinegar, white, apple cider, balsamic, and many others. Let me share with you the ways in which I use it daily.
(I keep a 70/30 ratio of vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Very handy.)
1-disinfect fruits and vegetables.
2-disinfect countertops in bathroom and kitchen(Vinegar has been shown to kill 80 percent of viruses, 82 percent of mold, and 99 percent of bacteria.)
3-clean out lyme-crusted coffee pot (white vinegar only)
4-fabric softener in the rinse cycle of the the wash (white vinegar only)
5-facial astringent. oh my gosh! the first time I used this (sprayed onto a cotton ball) I was like "ewwww, look at that!" Then I was like, "Dang! that really works!!"
6-hair conditioner. spray on. let soak for a few minutes. rinse. happy hair!
7-clean toilet bowl
8-balsamic vinegar and olive oil for salad dressing
9-clean toilet bowl
10-cleaning windows and mirrors
One use I'm super psyched to implement is to use it as an ice preventer on the windshield of the car!! YEAH-I'm sure I'll get to use this soon. NOT psyched about that.
Spray onto windshield the night before the anticipated freeze, and your windshield should be ice free in the morning, saving you time and frustration as you get ready to leave for the day.
A great website with more tips on how to use vinegar can be found
So you put more vinegar than water? I've heard half and half. I bought a spray bottle for this purpose. I wanted to get some peppermint extract or something for the smell, but haven't seen any around. Maybe I'll leave it so I can use it for my fruits and veggies too (just recently heard that from a friend!) Great post!
