well i take vinegar if i am ever sick. i use the pills mostly then because of the taste.
but i pour vinegar down my drains when they are slow. i have put it in dishwasher when dishes are really dirty or greasy. i spray it on the carpet after dog pees on carpet. i soak dishes in it when hard water crust is built up.

I'm beginning to think there is nothing you can't use vinegar for. I've been using it in my laundry for a while now. It makes a great detergent booster, good on getting those sweat rings out plus it works great as a final rinse if you don't like using fabric softners.

I saw this tip on the Rachael Ray show.... freeze plain white vinegar in ice cube trays. Then when they're frozen, put 3 or 4 in the garbage disposal and run it to clean it out and get rid of any odors.

I use it in the dishwasher instead of the expensive JetDry...works really well and is a natural disinfectant also.

Vinegar works great on windows. It is also a natural disinfectant, it kills germs!

White vinegar in a spray bottle with water is great for cleaning faucets & glass. It kills germs so it is good for counters & sinks too.
A small bowl or dish of white vinegar set out in a room is an amazing odor absorber for smoke, etc.

There is a really good book, "Vinegar", by Vickie Lansky that is good, I got it from amazon & it was cheap! If you use it on your scalp or for your hair, use white vinegar. A mix of 10% is good.
