25 Uses for Vinegar

Today I was browsing Facebook, you know... my addiction, and came across a post that said to use vinegar as a weed killer.  Seriously folks... what CAN'T this stuff do???  I became interested in what all it can do.  I began a search, through Swagbucks of course and found some interesting information.  I put together 25 good uses for Vinegar.  Some you may know and some you may not but hopefully it is of interest to you all.

1.  Add 1/2 cup to rinse cycle to eliminate lint on clothing.
2. A Stain remover:  Rub full strength on to jam, jelly, mustard stains, etc then wash as normal
3. Rid the smell of smoke out of clothes by adding a cup of vinegar to a HOT bath and hang clothes over to steam.

11. Spray on faucets and fixtures around house to disinfect
12. Soaking shower heads and faucets in distilled vinegar overnight to clean corrosion.
13. Soak a chicken bone in a glass of vinegar for 3 days to turn it into rubber.  Not real sure why one would like to do this but could be a fun science experiment.

15. Give your patent leather a shine by wiping with a vinegar dampened cloth
16. Spray vinegar around windows and doors to deter ants.  THIS is much needed around my home this spring.  May give this a try this week!!!

20. Add a 1/4 cup of vinegar to vaporizer to treat sinus infection and chest colds.
21. Add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and a bit of honey for taste to a cup of water.  Should take the edge off of appetite as well as make you feel overall better.  Maybe give it a try myself....
22. Add 2 tablespoons of vinegar with one teaspoon sugar to a quart of water to fresh cut flowers
23. Kill grass and weeds by spraying full strength.  Not recommended for flower gardens because it could potentially kill your beautiful work if not super careful.
