Cleaning with Vinegar

vinegarI discovered vinegar’s usefulness in cleaning years ago. I love that it has cleaning abilities while also being free of harsh chemicals. How great is that? I keep a spray bottle filled with vinegar under my kitchen sink.

Here’s what I’ve used vinegar for over the years:

  • Removing hard water stains from faucets
  • Cleaning kitchen counters (unless I’ve had raw meat or eggs on the counter, then I clean it with hot soapy water and a disinfectant spray)

  • Cleaning laminate floors
  • Removing the musty smell from towels
  • Cleaning mirrors

What uses have you found for vinegar?
