You know that I love learning new tips, that helps make our life easier. Well this time I found a a bunch of uses for Vinegar. Vinegar is a non toxic product, it has many many uses. It’s eco friendly. Very versatile and most important part is super inexpensive. Here are 25 ideas for making the most of vinegar:
1.
Deodorize the sink: Pour 1 cup baking soda, followed by 1 cup hot vinegar, down the drain. Let sit for at least 5 minutes, then rinse with hot water.
2.

3. Clean countertops: Wipe down surfaces with a rag dipped in vinegar.
4.
Clean the fridge: Use a mixture of half water, half vinegar to wipe down the interior shelves and walls.
5.
Remove soap build-up and odors from the dishwasher: Once a month, pour 1 cup of vinegar into an empty dishwasher and run the machine through its entire cycle.
6.
Bust oven grease: If you’ve got grease spots on the oven door, pour some vinegar directly on the stains, let it sit for 15 minutes, and wipe away with a sponge.
7.
