Why is vinegar such dark magic?

I use white vinegar instead of fabric softener.  Works great with towels. 

White vin and peroxide in a spray bottle , spray on mold. It vanishes and pretty much doesnt come back.

I am sure I am the only person in the world who can not stand vinegar on clothing. Mother would hang clothes in the basement during the winter. They would mildew , then she would wash them with vinegar. Great mildew and vinegar plus the smell of wood stove. Yup. Who needs perfume when you can smell like old pioneer.

I just bought another huge jug of vinegar from Costco. I couldn't live without it. I use it to freshen up the litter boxes as I am cleaning them. I scrub them out, then give them a good squirt down with vinegar and let them sit. I know they don't need rinsing at that point, but I do, and they are fresh and clean and ready to use again.

I wash all the animal dishes by hand because I feed them upstairs. I wipe them all out with vinegar before using dish soap because the dog bowl has a slimy feeling on it that just doesn't feel clean with regular soaping. I squirt it with vinegar, scrub a little, rinse, then wash them normally and they are squeaky clean.

I have been using Organic apple cider vinegar after I shampoo my hair with this new organic shampoo bar. I can't believe how soft it feels after the vinegar rinse! It is supposed to be really good for your scalp too.

I had a problem with some animal peeing on the water fountain that is right by my front door. We don't know if it is someone's dog or cat, or one of the wild animals like a possum or raccoon that is doing it. I squirt the area down with vinegar and not only did it take the urine smell away, it stopped them from peeing there again I guess they don't like the smell of vinegar.

I use it in my tea kettle and coffee maker to rid them of water stains and buildup of deposits.

I soak the animal's water bowl and electric water fountain thing in vinegar to remove the water deposits.

I'm sure this is TMI, but during a water shortage, we don't flush pee down in the toilets at night. I add either vinegar or bleach to the toilet so it isn't gross and then flush it in the morning. I guess you have to live in an area where they are really watching your water consumption to do something like that. We learned to do that years ago when they had that slogan, "If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down" advertising to reduce your flushing habits.



*** (Start PSA) Okay, do not mix bleach and pee.  I drink so much water that my pee is valery diluted, almost never yellow, and has never reacted with the bleach, but your experience may be different and very dangerous.  (End PSA)***



Oh, I use vinegar and sand in the vintage bottles and jars I have unearthed from my sister's property. We found bottles that were really old and cleaned them up with the vinegar mix to be sparkling and clear again.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

We have been dealing with tiny fruit flies in our kitchen. I put a small container of apple cider vinegar and dawn dishwashing liquid in my kitchen tonight after dinner and already have at least 4-5 dead flies in there.

For sparkling clean teeth brush with baking soda and spray a little vinegar in your mouth with the baking soda. It bubbles up and cleans them slick and shiny.

I have better luck with white wine than any kind of vinegar.

I had two sweaters that smelled like BO. I haven't been able to wear them for months. Googled how to get the smell out - vinegar and baking soda. Hmmm. I figured what the heck I'll give it a try. I sprinkled baking soda in the pit area, put them in a bucket and poured white vinegar over it all. (love the foamy action). I left it all together for a couple of hours, swishing it around every so often. Poured all of it in the washer, added some Woolite and after a wash and air dry they smell great. I wore one of them today and no smell, not even a subtle whiff.

I used it to get rid of a giant wart on my nose!  

cadoodlebug, I think you have warned me about this before.  It certainly stands to reason that ammonia and bleach would cause a noxious issue, but I've been doing it for years without any problem.  I do drink a tremendous amount of water every day, maybe my pee is so diluted that it has never been a problem.  I will make the effort to switch to the vinegar when doing that and save the bleach for cleaning it.  :0

No vinegar smell does not dissipate for me or my son. I am sure there are other people who can smell it.

I use it once a month or so to rinse my hair. It removes soap residue and leaves my hair shiny.
