My Frugal Frugal Ways

Use to clean and disinfect counter tops.

Make some ice cubes out of vinegar and then run them down the garbage disposal to clean and deodorize.

Clean the microwave by putting some vinegar and water in a microwave safe dish, cook until it boils up and splatters the side. Wipe out and you have a clean and odor free microwave.

Clean any greasy kitchen area with straight white vinegar.

Of course, we all know it’s great for cleaning those coffee makers. Regularly run the vinegar through the coffee machine and then run it two or three times with plain water.

Clean plastic containers with straight vinegar if they are stained or have an odor.

Salt and vinegar mixed together makes a dandy cleaner for brass, copper, and pewter.

Soak a rag or paper towel in vinegar, wrap around faucet or wherever you have calcium deposits, let it soak for a few hours, wipe clean.

Clean grout with white vinegar and a toothbrush.

Use it for cleaning your shower door or shower curtain.

Vinegar is also a germ killer so use it to wipe surfaces such as door knobs and light switches.

Try it as a stain remover in the laundry room.  As always, test on an inconspicuous part of the clothing first.

It makes a pretty good weed killer and is environmentally healthy.

Pour it on anthills.

One part vinegar and one part water sprayed on slugs will kill them and is a bit safer for your garden than the old  ammonia trick.
