What is the Stink with Vinegar!

Friends, the coolest liquid multitasker I can thing of would have to be Vinegar! White Vinegar to be more exact! Gosh, you can cook, clean, and do laundry with just this one ingredient!!

I talked with my sister today, and we were talking about this stinky ingredient (vinegar) and she was shocked that it had so many uses! And did you also know that when vinegar dries, the yucky smell goes away too?!?!!

At Costco you can get two gallons of White Vinegar for under $4.00.... if you think about it... a bottle of tile and grout cleaner is between $3-$4! hmmmmmm... you do the math, and let me know how much you could save!

So here are some uses for vinegar from the website: http://www.vinegartips.com/Scripts/
There are many more listed on the site, i picked the ones that I thought were pretty cool and most useful to myself and my fellow mom friends

For the Laundry

* To remove soap residue that makes black clothes look dull use white distilled vinegar in your final rinse.

* Remove perspiration odor and stains on clothing, as well as those left by deodorants, by spraying full- 

   strength white distilled vinegar on underarm and collar areas before tossing them into the washing machine.

* Keep the steam iron clean and in good working order by getting rid of mineral deposits in steam vents and

   spray nozzles. Fill the water chamber with a solution of equal parts white distilled vinegar and distilled 

   water. Set it in an upright position and let it steam for about 5 minutes. When the iron is cool, rinse the tank

   with water, refill and shake water through the vents onto an old cloth. Test before using.

Cleaning - there were SO MANY things, that I only picked a few

* To shine chrome sink fixtures that have a lime buildup, use a paste made of 2 tablespoons salt and 1

    teaspoon white distilled vinegar.

* Clean counter tops and make them smell sweet again with a cloth soaked in undiluted white distilled

   vinegar. (you can add tea tree oil for an antibacterial addition :-) )

* Clean counter tops and make them smell sweet again with a cloth soaked in undiluted white distilled

   vinegar.

* For stained and smelly plastic food containers, wipe them with a cloth dampened with white distilled

   vinegar.

* Remove odors from a lunch box by placing inside a slice of bread that has been soaked in white distilled

   vinegar. Leave overnight.

* Discourage ants by spraying undiluted white distilled vinegar outside doorways and windowsills, around

   appliances and wherever you find the pests coming in.
