50 MORE USES FOR VINEGAR!!!

My last post on vinegar was so greatly viewed that I decided to view some more sites to come up with more uses for vinegar.



Compile this list with my previous list of 45 Uses for Vinegar and you now have 95! I am pretty sure that none of them have been repeated, but if 1 or 2 mix between the two, I am sorry!

Also, check out my posts 40 Uses for Baking Soda and 20 Uses for Original Blue Dawn.

You may not like the smell of vinegar, I mean I know no one who does. So here is a tip to help the smell...

Save orange, lemon or lime peels and put them in a glass jar. Fill with vinegar and let it sit for a couple weeks. Strain it out and you have citrus smelling vinegar. It doesn’t smell like regular vinegar so no yucky smell. It makes everything smell good.

  1. Thanks for the list! It’s also great for Swimmer’s Ear. Mix 1/2 tsp., of white vinegar with 1/2 tsp., of rubbing alcohol . Put a few drops in affected ear; wait about 10 seconds then turn head over to drain out. Do this twice a day till gone. The alcohol kills the germs and bacteria, and the vinegar kills any fungus.

    1. I've never tried it before myself, but someone did tell me, use apple cider vinegar (1/4 cup) with 3/4 cup of water and a TBS of Honey as my conditioner on hair… it helps with eczema of the scalp…also helps dry and oily hair keeping the ph balance right! I have used baking soda with my shampoo. The baking soda helps to get all of the build up off. I hope this helps.

    2. Vinegar was what we used long before there was creme rinse. It on-tangles hair and restores it's natural PH. It does smell some though. However if you read somewhere on this page, you can put lemon peels in vinegar and let it sit for awhile and it no longer smells like vinegar. Glorious hair, shinny and tangle free and smells like lemons! Not to mention, darn cheap.

    3. I use orange peels, but lemon peels work great too! Vinegar is truly amazing! Thanks.

    4. I have a small spray bottle with apple cider vinegar in my shower for when my hair is too tangled for even the conditioner to deal with - I just spray it straight onto the tangle. It also helped knock out some VERY resistant dandruff! You could mix it, but why would you want to when you could just use it straight? (Hold your breath before spraying, by the way.)

    5. Oh my gosh, Deborah. My hair is so long and gets really tangled on the under side. I will totally try this. I hate having to comb it out and pull out tons of hair! Thanks!

  4. Lets not forget, brushing teeth with baking soda gives you fresh breath, scours you teeth and you can't get cheaper.

  5. I don't think I saw what a wonderful job vinegar, a little ammonia and water do on windows. Especially when you use newspaper to wipe them. There is something about the print that leaves your windows streak free. Maybe you will want to use gloves though cause the print comes off on your hands. But no fuzz like you get with paper towel at a least a 1.00 a roll!

  6. I keep white vinegar in a spray bottle in my kitchen and will use it to clean my counter before working with bread dough - nobody wants chemicals in their fresh-baked loaf! I have used it to remove wallpaper and to de-tangle my hair in the shower

  7. I use it on my veggies. I heard it helps get rid of the chemicals. Just spray them, let sit for a bit then rinse off.
