More Tips for Using Vinegar
You're healed!
Smooth a little Honeygar on cracked, dried skin to help it heal.
Dishwasher Love...
Just put one cup of vinegar in your dishwasher and let it run for one cycle. Do this monthly to reduce soap build-up on glassware.
A spot of Tea or Coffee, perhaps?
If you're a tea or coffee drinker and you have a dirty tea or coffee pot simply boil 1 part water and 1 part vinegar in your tea or coffee pot and while the liquid is warm wipe away the stains.
Don't make a spectacle of yourself...
Use a drop of vinegar on a cotton cloth to clean your eye glasses.
Antz and I don't mean the movie!
Last month we were over-run with Ants. So in the morning before hanging the clothes out to dry I poured vinegar all around the back garden doors and the results were brilliant. I just bent over and watched those pesky critters approach the house and then retreat.
Laundry duty...
To brighten those whites add 1/2 cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle.
Grease just ain't the WORD!
To remove grease from clothing just dip a toothbrush in vinegar and gently brush over the greasy spot.
Tights or Hose?
For longer-lasting pantyhose or tights (as we called them over here) add one tablespoon of vinegar to the rinse cycle.
Get Fresh!
Make your own airspray by mixing two cups of White Wine vinegar with one cupful of your favourite crushed herbs like lavender, cloves, pine needles, ginger, cinnamon etc.. Place the ingredients in a saucepan and boil gently for 10 minutes then leave to cool. Pour into a large jar with a close fitting lid. Leave to stand for three weeks. Strain and add the mixture to a spray bottle or atomiser. Use it in the same way as you would with any other commercial air spray.
Treat your achy, breaky feet!
Dilute one part ACV to five parts water and use it as an antiseptic to soothe achy blistered feet or better yet - use the same combination as a foot soak.
Out of the sun...
Cool down a painful sunburn by gently applying full strength vinegar to your skin.
Flower Power!
Excellent for fresh cut flowers. Add 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 1 teaspoon sugar to 150 ml of water.
Listen up!
For clean ears dip a cotton cloth in a mixture of ACV and distilled water and wipe around your ears and you're sqeaky clean again.
Oh my goodness I have got to buy a gallon size of ACV!! :D
