I have written before about the merits of keeping vinegar in your pantry. It can be used for so many things beside cooking.
Get rid of odors. Did you know if you soak a piece of bread with vinegar and set it in the bottom of your trash can and leave it over night, it will get rid of any nasty odor?
Get rid of fruit flies. You can take a little apple cider vinegar and place it in a small dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in it. The fruit flies will crawl in and die.
Get rid of wrinkles. Spray a shirt with one part vinegar and three parts water. Let hang and the wrinkles will disappear.
Keep cats off your furniture. Cats hate the smell of vinegar. Spray your couch with a little vinegar and the cats will stay a way.
Flowers last longer. If you add a little apple cider vinegar to your water your fresh flowers will last longer.
You can mix up a window washing solution using vinegar. Click here. Or you can just spray a little vinegar on the glass to clean it.
Make an all purpose cleaner using vinegar, water and a few drops of dish soap. Click here.
Do you have a pan that you are having a hard time cleaning? Pour equal parts of vinegar and water into the pan. Bring to a boil and then let sit. Cleans right up.
Unclog your drain. Pour ½ cup baking soda and 1 cup vinegar into your drain. When it has stopped foaming pour boiling water down the drain.
Sticky residue. Do you have sticky residue on a jar or on your wall. Use a little white vinegar to clean it up.
These are just ten ways to use vinegar. There are many more. It’s a good idea to have some vinegar in your pantry.
