UNUSUAL USES FOR VINEGAR
Did you know that vinegar — particularly the distilled white and
apple cider varieties — has hundreds of household, beauty,
medicinal and even horticultural uses?
Here are 20 unusual, thrifty, and eco-friendly uses for vinegar
that you may not have thought of.
1. Condition hair
Rinse after shampooing really does work like a dream. It
removes residue from the hair shaft and closes the cuticles. Just
add half a tablespoon of vinegar to a cup of water, plus a few
drops of essential oil if you like. Pour it on in the shower and then
rinse it out. Sure, your hair will smell like salad dressing for a while,
but once it’s dry, the smell dissipates.
2. Kill weeds
A few rogue weeds can wreak lawn, vegetable garden, or
flowerbed and popping up in the cracks of a sidewalk or driveway.
Forget pricey weed killers full of toxic ingredients — household
vinegar really does kill unwanted plants; stronger vinegar made
for horticultural use, which is 25% acetic acid, works even better.
3. Remove underarm stains
Sweat stains can really ruin a beautiful blouse. Especially, if you
use aluminum-based antiperspirants, a reaction between
aluminum compounds in these products and salts in your sweat.
Spray full-strength white vinegar on the stain before washing,
and it will disappear.
4. Soften fabrics
Add 1/2 cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle, and not only will
it prevent lint from clinging to your clothes and keep colors bright,
it’ll also remove soap scum from both the clothes you’re washing
and the washing machine itself. Vinegar is also recommended in
place of dryer sheets — simply add 3/4 cup to your washer
during the final rinse cycle.

Prolong the life of cut flowers
Bouquets of cut flowers brighten a room all too briefly, often
wilting after just a few days. Squeeze a little extra enjoyment out of
your arrangements by adding two tablespoons of white vinegar per quart
of water in the vase, which will keep them perky just a little bit
longer.

19. Tenderize and kill bacteria in meat
Marinate meat overnight in apple cider vinegar, and it will be
delectably tender. This can reportedly also kill the bacteria that
causes food-borne illnesses, including e. coli.
9. Remove stickers
Removing that Stickers from your bumper, or trying to peel a
price tag off a new purchase, your magic ingredient is about to
make your life a lot easier. Warm a little bit of white vinegar on
the stovetop or in the microwave and then dip a rag into it. Hold
the rag over the sticker until it’s thoroughly saturated, and it will
peel right off without leaving sticky residue behind. This trick
also loosens wallpaper adhesive.

The acetic acid in vinegar reacts with iron oxide to remove rust
from small metal items like hinges, nuts and bolts. Simmer them
in a saucepan full of vinegar, then rinse well with water to prevent
the vinegar from further affecting the metal.
