Vinegar Uses

Kill Bacteria in Meats.
Marinating meat in Vinegar kills bacteria and tenderizes the meat.
Use one-quarter cup vinegar for a two to three pound roast, marinate
overnight, then cook without draining or rinsing the meat. Add herbs
to the vinegar when marinating as desired.

Dissolve Warts.
Mix one part Apple Cider Vinegar to one part glycerin into a lotion
and apply daily to warts until they dissolve.

Stains
Remove stubborn stains from furniture upholstery and clothes. Apply
White Vinegar directly to the stain, then wash as directed by the
manufacturer's instructions.

Grow Beautiful Azaleas and Blueberries
Occasionally water plants with a mixture of two tablespoons White
Vinegar to one quart water. Azaleas & blueberries love acidic soil.

Relieve Arthritis.
Before each meal, drink a glass of water containing two teaspoons
Apple Cider Vinegar. Give this folk remedy at least three weeks to
start working.

Kill unwanted Grass.
Pour White Vinegar in crevices and between bricks.

Remove Corns.
Make a poultice of one crumbled piece of bread soaked in one-quarter
cup Vinegar. Let poultice sit for one-half hour, then apply to the
corn and tape in place overnight. If corn does not peel off by
morning, reapply the poultice for several consecutive nights.

Washing Machine
Clean the hoses and unclog soap scum from a washing machine. Once a
month pour one cup of White Vinegar into the washing machine and run
the machine through a normal cycle, without clothes.

Cure an Upset Stomach.
Drink two teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar in one cup water to soothe an
upset stomach.

Kill Germs on Bathroom fixtures.
Use one part Vinegar to one part water in a spray bottle. Spray the
bathroom fixtures and floor, then wipe clean. Clean soap scum,
mildew, and grime from bathtub, tile, and shower. Simply wipe the
surface with Vinegar and rinse with water.

Deodorize the Air.
Vinegar is a natural air freshener when sprayed in a room.

Relieve Itching.
Use a cotton ball to dab mosquito and other bug bites with Vinegar
straight from the bottle.

Lime Deposits
Clean lime deposits and calcium sludge from an automatic drip coffee
maker. Once a month fill the reservoir with White Vinegar and run
through the brew cycle. Rinse thoroughly with two cycles of cold
water.

Relieve a Sore Throat.
Put two teaspoons of Vinegar in your humidifier.
Gargle 1/2 vinegar 1/2 water.

Soothe Sunburn Pain.
Apply undiluted Vinegar to the burn.

Clean food-Stained Pots and Pans.
Fill the pots and pans with White Vinegar and let stand for thirty
minutes. Then rinse in hot, soapy water.

Clean Rust from Tools, Bolts, and Spigots.
Soak the rusted tool, bolt, or spigot in undiluted White Vinegar
overnight.

Prevent Bright colored Clothes from Fading. Before putting the
article in the washing machine, soak it in White Vinegar for ten

grind the cubes through the disposal, and flush with cold water.

flush.

a toothbrush.

Vinegar to four parts water, then rinse.

small bowl of White Vinegar in the room.

drink.

Eliminate Odors from used jars.
Rinse peanut butter and mayonnaise jars with White Vinegar.

Condition Dry Hair.
Shampoo, then rinse hair with a mixture of one cup Apple Cider
Vinegar and two cups water. Vinegar adds highlights to brunette hair,
restores the acid mantel, and removes soap film and sebum oil.

Clean Mineral Deposits from a Steam Iron.
Fill the water tank with White Vinegar. Turn the iron to the steam
setting and steam-iron a soft utility rag to clean the steam ports.
Repeat the process with water, then thoroughly rinse out the inside
of your iron.

Remove light scorch marks from Fabrics.
Rub lightly with White Vinegar, then wipe with a clean cloth.

Repel Ants.
Use a spray bottle or mister filled with a solution of equal parts
Vinegar and water around door jambs, window sills, water pipes, and
foundation cracks.

Keep Drains Open.
Pour one-half box of old baking soda down the drain followed by one
cup White Vinegar. When the bubbling stops, run the hot water.

Prolong and Brighten Propane Lanterns.
Soak new wicks for several hours in White Vinegar and let them dry
before inserting. Propane lanterns will burn longer and brighter on
the same amount of fuel.

Remove Decals or Bumper Stickers.
Soak a cloth in Vinegar and cover the decal or bumper sticker for
several minutes until the vinegar soaks in. The decals and bumper
stickers should peel off easily.

Deodorize a Wool Sweater.
Wash sweater, then rinse in equal parts Vinegar and water to remove
odor.

window with a solution of three parts White or Apple Cider Vinegar to
one part water.

per quart of warm water. Stems should be in three to four inches of
water.

peel off faster and easier.

paper thoroughly with the mixture. Repeat. Paper should peal off in

mixture of equal parts White Vinegar and cool water. Blot up, rinse,
and let dry.

box overnight.

vinegar run through the entire cycle once a month will also reduce
soap scum on the inner workings.

a pot filled with equal parts Vinegar and water, bring to a boil,
then simmer for five minutes.
