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
4. For Windows
6. Remover of Mineral (scale) Buildup
10. Brass Cleaner

I use vinegar to clean our coffee maker. Fill the water reservoir with vinegar and then run it as you normally would of course without the coffee mix. Then run it with just water a few times.

Can I use vinegar on my cat to "help" him clean off what appears to be grease? Diluted of course.

I've used vinegar in my home to clean just about everything (appreciate the article i just read about windows and vinegar. Explained what went wrong.) Well, we've had this stain in front of the toilet for years and nothing seemed to get rid of it. It bugged me to no end. I had even used my floor washing solution (diluted vinegar and dish soap) on it to no avail. Well, on a whim just last week i did a test spot on it with straight vinegar and the "stain" turned out to be just caked on mineral deposits. So i went ahead and used a 2/3 vinegar 1/3 water solution on it and let it sit for about 15 minutes and used a toothbrush to scrub it. The area in front of the toilet *finally* looks as clean as i try to keep it. Yay for vinegar!

I definitely agree with all comments so far. Vinegar has been a mainstay for me with cleaning for many years. When I had a dog, it also helped with occasional "mistakes" on our light-coloured carpet. Not only helped with the stains, but also the smell. Of course, I was left with the smell of vinegar! I was particularly interested in Sonya Loyd's comment on sunburn. I haven't used it for that, but did for poison ivy, which was driving me crazy ... constantly fighting the urge to scratch wildly. It didn't stop the itch completely, but it did much better than calamine lotion and all the other remedies I tried. Love that vinegar!
