Vinegar For Cleaning 4

Distilled Vinegar for Cleaning

White Distilled vinegar is best for cleaning
Maybe the oldest use for vinegar yet (besides as a food). Cleaning with vinegar is much safer than using commercial products.

Microwave

Clean your microwave, use 1 Tablespoon of vinegar, one cup of warm water and 1 or 2 drops of dish soap in a small microwave safe bowl. Put it in the microwave on high for 3-4 minutes and let stand for 15 minutes. Then wipe the microwave out with a damp sponge. The steam and use of vinegar loosens up the build up in the microwave.

Furniture Polish

Furniture polish using equal parts of white vinegar and vegetable oil. Wipe it on and buff with a soft cloth.

Brassware

To clean brassware to like-new condition without scrubbing, soak in 1:10 parts of white vinegar: water. To clean brass lamps, unscrew sections, soak in bucket. All green and black tarnish comes off in no time.

Steam Vac

Use distilled vinegar steam vac to rinse your carpets with after shampooing. The carpet will stay fresh longer, it removes any detergent residue. Use a quarter of a cup, per gallon of water.

Rust off Cast Iron

White vinegar solution 2 parts vinegar 1 part water to clean the rust off cast iron pans. Cleaning antique cast iron pans soak the pan overnight in the vinegar solution and the vinegar just dissolves the rust. Very rusty pans many take an extra evening. Don't leave it in there too long or you will not have a pan. The vinegar actually
dissolves the metal. This would work on new cast iron pans also.

Antique Appliances

For cleaning antique appliances: Pour white vinegar straight out of the bottle onto a sponge, or pour it into a dishpan to soak stubborn buildup for a few minutes. After your appliance's first-time cleaning, future quick cleanups are easiest using a small spray/squirt bottle with
diluted vinegar-water.
