70+ Uses For Vinegar

Did you know that there are over 70 uses for vinegar besides cooking? Yes, the vinegar that we all have in our cupboards. Along with using vinegar for cleaning or cooking, I will point out a few under each category, sparing you the other 65+ for now.



For Cleaning:

• Cleans glass- Mixed with water or simply sprayed full-strength on glass and mirrors, vinegar does a great job quickly and easily. Simply wipe windows dry with crumpled-up newspapers . Your windows sparkle!


• Clean and deodorize a garbage disposal -Make vinegar ice cubes and feed them down the disposal. After grinding, run cold water through. Vinegar ice cubes? Be careful not to offer your guests a drink with those ice cubes.

For Hair and Bath:

• Cracked, dry skin- Smooth a little vinegar on dried skin to help it heal.


• Bathwater-Add ½ cup of vinegar or so to warm bath water when bathing and get double benefits... softer skin and a cleaner bathtub with less work!

For Food and Cooking:

• Fluffier meringues- Add 1 teaspoon vinegar for every three egg whites and you'll have fluffier meringues.


• Boiling eggs -Add a bit of white vinegar to the water you're boiling your eggs in, and the shells won't crack.

For Gardening and Yard:

• Kills grass-Undiluted vinegar will kill grass between bricks and sidewalk cracks.


• Keep cats away- Sprinkle vinegar on areas you don't want the cat walking, sleeping, or scratching on. This one would be interesting.
  

For Health:

• Mosquito bites- Use a cotton ball to dab mosquito and other bug bites with Heinz Vinegar straight from the bottle.


• Sinus infections and head colds- Add 1/4 cup or more vinegar to the vaporizer.

For Pets:

• Fish bowl cleaner- Eliminate that ugly deposit in the gold fish tank by rubbing it with a cloth dipped in vinegar and rinsing well.


• Pet's drinking water- Add a teaspoon of vinegar to your pet's drinking water to encourage a shinier coat, and reduce odor. Haven't tried this one for fear of the cat killing over.
