Uses of Vinegar
1. Good stain remover
2. Clean shower head: bring to boil 1/2 cup each of vinegar & water, take off burner then put in shower head. Let soak for a while, using old toothbrush or similar to get all the 'crusties' out of the holes. Should be very easy to brush away.
3. Shower curtain: One cup of vinegar in the washing machine cold rinse cycle will take away mildew.
4. Window wash: 1/2 cup each water & vinegar, with sponge or rag wipe window with solution. Use old rages or newspapers to wipe dry. Hint: Dry the outside of the window with a sideways motion and the inside with up and down motion. That way you can see places you have missed. Feel free to reverse the inside/outside motions! Change it up!
5. Full strength for hard water stains, rust, bath rings. Clean while the tub/shower walls are warm after using. Use a non-abrasive scrubber and a little elbow grease.
6. Decal remover. Soak for a several minutes and then rub off.
7. Add a couple of cups to the rinse cycle (no clothes please) with detergent to help clean out the pipes.
