Tried a few of those...Don't forget adding a little vinegar to the rinse cycle in the washing machine when doing your mf towels...The acidity works wonders on many things..

Thanks for the great tips!!!!!
 
I use it in dishwasher on final rinse and it keeps stainless steel dishwasher spotless. About 2 oz.
 
Very interesting. Nice post. To add, it also goes great with a salad!

You work for Heinz in the vinegar division?

Ty

LOL,,, RETIRED!!! Try few tips and see the results. best way to strip wax off the car and about $1.00 gal
should be able to do 100 cars.
 
don't you get that stinky sour smell from the vinegar when you use it? I would think that if you wash your MF with it, clean your carpets, seats...that there is trace amounts left and that will stink everything up.
 
I think the smell dissipates after a few minutes. I have tried it to remove odors and rinse my MF and the smell doesn't seem to stay.
 
I use vinegar in an empty dishwasher to periodically clean and disinfect it. The same applies for the washing machine. The smell does linger for a little bit, but a small amount goes a long way.
 
Vinegar is awesome. I use it as an aftershave, two drops in my morning coffee, to clean my glasses, in my laundry to remove stains, in my salad (oh, I really do that one), to clean my driveway, it works as an aphrodisiac, keeps my playing cards from sticking together. I could go on and on but... :nomore:
 
My mom taught me ages ago to use it to clean windows. Funny, since she always told me how she detailed her ENTIRE car (including the engine and vinyl bench seats) with Lemon Pledge. I'd always laugh myself to stitches at the thought of my mom hanging on for dear life as she made left turns.

Unrelated...shaving cream and toothpaste will keep your windows and shower mirrors from fogging up (but it must contain menthol).
 
You can also run it through your coffee maker when the coffee starts picking up hard water deposits and gets grungy tasting.
