25 Tips for Naturally Cleaning with Vinegar

My top 25 tips for using vinegar in your cleaning. Vinegar is an all natural bacteria and germ killer. It is environmentally friendly and inexpensive. I will give you a teaser with a few of my tips here. You can click over to my blog for the rest of my top 25.

Counter tops - clean with a rag and vinegar.Drain or garbage disposal - pour in 1 cup baking

soda then one cup hot vinegar. Let sit for 5

minutes. Run hot water down the drain. (Note: some garbage disposals

do not react well to this cleaning method check all manufacturer

instructions first.)Microwave - mixing equal parts vinegar and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Bring it to a boil inside the microwave. Wipe clean.Refrigerator - clean with a half-and-half solution of water and vinegar.Dishwasher - pour a cup of vinegar inside an empty machine and run through cycle. Come on over and see the other tips plus some before and after pictures in my own home as I put vinegar to the test.
