Unusual Uses for Vinegar

Vinegar can have some unusual uses that can be used in your home for spring cleaning or just regular cleaning in your home.

Step 1 Air Refresher

Take a glass bowl and fill it with vinegar and set it in the room you want refreshed.  This works for odors even as harsh as tabaco.

Another one thats not very known is an old Newfoundland remedy: If and when you get sunburned, lightly coat the sunburn with some vinegar!

The vinegar helps reduce the stinging and tenderness of the burn!

i keep it in a spray (mist) bottle for when we get sunburned. the 1st time or 2, my kids had a fit about the smell, which only lasts about 5 minutes. then, they got where they would ask for it!!!! and would even tell their friends about it and bragged on how good it worked. this was when they were only about 6-7 yrs old.

Personally I use vinegar + bleach to clean the toilet brush. I put a solution of the two liquids in the jar and where is the brush and the work is made.

Vinegar + salt is very useful for cooper objects. With the "cream" you made, you can clean them and very well. I must say that I use this "cream" to clean the tap, better than only vinegar in some cases.

Vinegar is also good as a weed killer that wont poison your pets.

Wow, I did not know there were so many uses for Vinegar. I usually just use it for chip flavoring and for removing smoke smells but I didn't know it could be used for stain remover.

However, I think this would be more effective if you could actually take pictures of how the vinegar is used, pics of how much is needed, etc. It's a little hard to gauge from the current ones.
