Hello Everyone,

Today we are concentrating on a few ways you can use white vinegar around your home. I always have a jug of vinegar under my kitchen sink. I, also, have a small spray bottle that is always filled with equal parts of vinegar and water. I use it for a quick counter or kitchen table wipe. The best part I love about vinegar is that it's earth-friendly.

Here's your first tip: Get rid of the cigarette smoke smell from inside your home by pouring some vinegar into a bowl and setting it in the room with the strongest odor. Within a day the odor should be gone. If the smell is really strong, set out a few bowls.

Disinfect your toilet bowl by pouring 2 cups of vinegar into the bowl and letting it soak overnight before flushing.

Hint 2: This hint does cut down on the scrubbing.

Clean your microwave by placing a glass bowl filled with a quarter cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water inside. Turn on your microwave to the highest setting for about 5 minutes and once the bowl cools, use the liquid to sponge away the grime.


EXTRA HINT: I personally don't get cold sores, but a friend of mine uses this trick and swears by it.

Treat a cold sore by dabbing it with a cotton ball soaked in vinegar 3 times a day. The vinegar will soothe the pain and swelling.
