After reading some books and browsing the Internet, I have come to discover that plain old white distilled vinegar is an amazing product. It is inexpensive, nontoxic, and can be used for so many different things around the house and yard, not to mention in the garage. Below is a list of some of the ways you can use vinegar in place of more expensive, and possibly toxic products:
1. Clean pen marks off of painted walls by dipping a cloth into vinegar and dabbing in onto the marks. Repeat until the marks disappear.
2. Clean your piano keys by mixing half a cup of vinegar with 2 cups of water. Use a soft cloth and wring it out thoroughly before wiping down the keys. Use a dry cloth to remove the moisture and then leave the keyboard uncovered for 24 hours.
3. Clean your computer, printer, keyboard, and other home office gear by mixing an equal part of vinegar and water and wiping them down. Be sure to shut them off first and wring out your cloth well so water doesn’t damage the circuits inside.
4. 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.
5. Remove salt from your boots by wiping it off with a cloth soaked in vinegar. No need to dilute the vinegar.
6. Clean your windshield wiper blades by wiping them down with full strength vinegar.
