I found this fabulous information over at BargainBabe.com. I figure I have shared uses for Baking Soda, might as well add Vinegar to our safe and effective cleaning regimen. I do use Vinegar to shampoo my carpets and I get fabulous results, and it is cheap and natural.
This is a post by BargainBabe.com writer Yazmin Cruz.
In a previous post I wrote about natural cleaners that can save you money. One of those inexpensive cleaners was vinegar. I’ve used vinegar everywhere from the kitchen to the bathroom and below I’ve shared a laundry list (literally) of different ways to use vinegar around your home.
I have tried most of these suggestions with positive results. Before trying them yourself, make sure to test the solutions in an inconspicuous place to avoid damage. To learn about secret uses for ammonia, salt, foil and baking soda, check out Bobbi’s post.
