This is just the best board you can always learn something on here about everyday. Some idea I knew about some I didn't.

In the laundry, down the drains. Also put baking soda in first. Add vinegar to keep grease clogs down. Also if u have any medical euiptment that u reuse I have asthma and take breathing yz. I use vinegar to " sterilize" the mouthpiece and medicine cup. Learned it from the therapist. Could prob use it on pacifiers, spray on toYs and wipe off, wash windows, clean outdoor furniture ect.
Also u can use old cola to get rust off metal!

Put the offending fasteners in a bucket and cover with vinegar. Let sit a day or two, then thoroughly wash the nuts and bolts. Use a wire brush if needed to remove any stubborn debris. Make sure that you use plenty of water to rinse because the vinegar will continue to eat away at the metal. After they are dry spray with some WD-40.
I have also used it to remove rust. as in above quote, works really well to clean up rusty horse shoes.
I also use as a general cleaning product with bi-carb. :-D

if you are on a fat free diet then one table spoon of cider vinegar in a quarter glass of water will help break down any fat you eat and so help to dispel it faster so it does not have a chance to get digested.
put some malt or white vinegr into water to clean your windows , tiles or mirrors. sponge over and then use newspaper to dry and polish for a real sparkle

In my drains, I sprinkle a little baking soda, and then slowly pour in white vinegar to create a volcano and clean out the drains. I finish by pouring hot water. It has been working for years!

If anyone sweats profusely, using a vinegar wash under arms neutralizes the odor, and also seem to reduce later sweat smell. it is great in the laundry too if your clothes take on a very sweaty odor.

I live on a farm where our clothes get very dirty from working with animals; I won't go into details, but you can imagine what I'm talking about - yuck! Vinegar in teh wash water, plus add it to the rinse - stains out, and fresh smelling clothes.

Drinking the vinegar in a glass of water, is also a dietetic that can help loose weight, so I'm told. I have not tried it personally cause I don't care for the taste of the vinegar water, and yet I love a dill pickle!! Explain that, but should try the vinegar water now that I'm quilting more.. I could stand to find a cure for the "large look"............ and eat less! lol

Have a great day to all of you on this board; enjoy all teh projects and input by all! You all make my day!

I put vinegar in a spray bottle and use it to clean everything; i.e., kitchen counters, windows, tile floor, dusting wood furniture, etc. It disinfects, leaves a shine, and windows don't have streaks. I don't cut the vinegar with water, just use it full strength and wipe off with micro fiber rags. It works better and is much less expensive than buying a variety of specialized cleansers for different jobs.
