If you have been reading here for a while, you may recall my love of white vinegar - as a cleaning product (though it goes down pretty well on fish and chips too!).

| My version looks less pretty and more functional than this |
To recap, white vinegar can be used to:
- Clean windows and mirrors - using a ratio of 1 part vinegar: 1 part warm water)
- Clean walls, hard floors and furniture (1 part vinegar: 3 parts water)
- Remove toilet stains (add 1 cup to the bowl, undiluted, leave for 30 minutes+, then use the toilet brush)
- Attack mildew and soap scum in the bathroom - mix 2 tablespoons salt with 1 teaspoon vinegar, or just use a vinegar/ water mix as above
- Add 1/4 cup to washing machine to make towels fluffy and soft (I always forget to do this one!)
- Use instead of rinse aid in your dishwasher
And, when surfing Facebook recently, I came across another use for white vinegar:
- Use as as a soothing lotion on mosquito bites and other itchy areas. I haven't tried it yet, but apparently the vinegar will sting a bit on initial application, but then stop the itching.
