Eight Simple & Easy Tips For Cleaning With Vinegar

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Preferred Realty Ltd.

 Vinegar is one of the most effective household cleaning agents        …and its use is definitely not confined to only your kitchen! This is  because the high level of acidity in vinegar makes it effective in  tackling most types of bacteria, germs and moulds.

 You could use vinegar to:

          Remove lime build up from chrome sink fixtures with a paste of  2  tsp salt and 1 tsp vinegar

        Clean out your fridge with a 1:1 solution of vinegar and water to  leave it sparkling and free from pests.

           Remove coffee and tea stains inside cups by scrubbing gently with  salt and vinegar.

        Wipe plastic food containers with a vinegar-dampened cloth to take away stains and odours.

        Shine tarnished brass, copper and pewter by polishing with a mixture of vinegar and salt.

      Discourage ants and fruit flies by spraying undiluted vinegar outside window sills or around appliances

        Cut the grease on kitchen counters, exhaust fans and oven windows.

        Get your linoleum floors shining by adding a cupful of vinegar to the bucket of cleaning water.

The list is endless and so is the popularity of this cleaning agent. For not only is it cheap but it is also environment friendly, acting as a substitute for harsh chemicals.

Another bump! A lot of people don`t stop to think about how switching from conventional cleaning products to time-tested, nontoxic methods will improve a home`s indoor air quality.

You`d have way more comments on your posts if your cross-posted to the groups for green & eco-issues.

Vinegar is great as a cleaner, so is baking soda and peroxide! I can't believe you have only two comments.  Surely there are agents out there who clean!
