Tidy Tip 2

Sometimes I will run short on Windex or cleaner and who knew white vinegar had so many uses around the house!

1. Give your furniture a noncommerical glow: when you container of furniture polish runs dry, whip up your own in seconds. Combine 3 cups of olive oil and 1 cup of white vinegar. Mix until thoroughly blended, dampen a soft cloth with the solution and use it to polish. (I have used 1/2 of that recipe and it does glow but you also have to be careful, I wiped up any excess with a dry cloth.)

2. Half and Half: easiest way to make all-purpose kitchen and bathroom cleaner. Combine equal parts of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Can use on fixtures, sinks, and counters an wipe off. Use the solution to clean toilets: to deodorize the toilet pour 3 cups vinegar into the bowl and let sit for 30 mins and flush odors away and kills germs at same time!

3. A slow drain. Once a month, pour 1/2 cup baking soda down the drain, follow that with 1/2 cup white vinegar let the mix bubble away for a while and flush with cold water. (It does work, we tried it and when it was bubbling black stuff was coming up from spout!)

4. Stopped up Shower head: after the last shower of evening unscrew the shower head and set in a bowl of white vinegar. When you get up it should be like "new". If you can't get the shower head off, fill a plastic bag with vinegar, and pull the bag over the shower head until it is submerged and secured in place with rubber bands.

5. Stainless Steel Appliances: I use white vinegar to clean my stainless steel fridge, stove top, toaster, microwave, and dishwasher. This does note leave streaks and film like windex. Just dampen the cloth with the vinegar and wipe away until it shines!

I have also seen a lot of different uses on Pinterest for White Vinegar...
