My Top 10 Uses of Vinegar In the Home

My Top 10 Uses of Vinegar In the Home

Once on a plane I sat next to one of the world’s experts on vinegar. Talk about synchronicity! Who better to sit next to me, the author of Clean & Green? What I learned from him expanded my appreciation of vinegar from a good grease cutter and window cleaner to oh so many more things!

Vinegar is now right up there with baking soda as indispensable, and here’s why:

1. Killer of Bacteria, Mold & Germs

2. Grease Cutter

3. Floor Cleaner

4. For Windows

5. Toilet Bowl Deodorizer

6. Remover of Mineral (scale) Buildup

7. Fabric Softener

8. Furniture Cleaner

9. Drain Clearer

10. Brass Cleaner

I've heard that vinegar is effective as an oven cleaner. Has anyone tried it? I've also heard that warm vinegar works better than room temp. I've used it in my carpet steamer machine rinse and it truly does make a difference!

I use vinegar in the rinse cycle of my laundry. There is no smell and the clothes come out soft and fresh. Bonus, the washer is squeaky clean - no fabric softener buildup.

Thank you so much, Annie. I never realized that vinegar could be used in so many ways.
