We have all heard that there are many uses for white vinegar. I heard on the radio yesterday a woman telling a few, for example instead of glass cleaner to use straight vinegar. Well, here are some more uses.
To unclog and deodorize drains, The combination of vinegar and baking soda is one of the most effective ways to unclog and deodorize drains. It’s also far gentler on your pipes (and your wallet) than commercial drain cleaners.
Hard Water Deposits, Spray shower doors with full-strength white distilled vinegar after you’ve squeegeed the glass, or before you step in and turn on the water. It will help release the hard water deposits so they don’t remain on the glass.
Clean Tile– Mix up an inexpensive tile cleaner by adding 1/2 cup baking soda, 1 cup white distilled vinegar, and 1 cup ammonia to a gallon of warm water.
Here is one that a friend told me about. To get rid of urine (animal or human) from the carpet take very hot water in a cup and add about 1/4 cup of white vinegar and pour it over the urine. All the urine will float up to the top of the carpet so you can take a rage and clean it up. Just make sure you don’t rub it in, pound with your fists it out. Also, I have put baking soda on the urine and then poured the vinegar and water solution over it. It will foam up, you will see the urine come up.
Deter cats around sand boxes and flower beds, the solution is to pour vinegar around the edges of the area you want to protect every month and after it rains.
