It also works really well for a butt itch. Chugalug 8 ounces and it will suck your drawers right up your butt. Pulling them out effectively scratches your itch.

32 ounces is a quart; not 1/2 gallon.

Re RED (apple cider vinegar), after years of excruciating acid reflux and resultant sore throat, sleepless nights, expensive meds, I went online. Found this: In a cup of warm water (I nuke for ~45 seconds), add 2 tsp. cider vinegar. Add 1/4 tsp. baking soda. It’ll bubble. Stir. It’ll bubble more. Drink, preferably through a straw for your teeths’ sake. I do it after every meal, especially if high fat or spicy. Sometimes before bed, too. Haven’t had discomfort for months, since I started.

Thanks. That’s a neat site!

Here’s one that’s not on the list:

1/2 cup of white grape juice plus 2 tsp of white vinegar is a fair non-alcoholic substitute for wine in cooking.

It makes an excellent weed killer - even diluted with water, and your yard smells like a salad bar.

I personally would not use the vinegar to clean the microwave oven as described. You are putting acid vapors into an electrical system.

Thanks for post. Knew about most uses. Let no one make fun of frugality.

Works for me.

The container for most household chemicals costs more than the chemical.

Great information, I’ll let my maid know about this....

White vinegar should ONLY be used for cleaning, not for ingestion. It’s awful tasting stuff. Apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, and balsamic vinegar are where it’s at for food use.

i got one.......if you get a real bad sunburn, jump in the shower, and dump it all over your body and let it be for about 5 minutes...it will take the sting out, and ease the burn....

They completely forgot about that whole douche thing. Cheers!

Take a shot of it — that’ll put some hair on your back.

Vinegar and baking soda are both very effective and inexpensive cleaning agents. When our kids were born, we stopped using a lot of typical cleaning supplies in favour of them to save money and reduce poisons in the house. Mixing them together also makes for a fun reaction to make everything from a demonstration of a volcano to blowing up a balloon. Great stuff.

In the late 50’s my mother purchased a set of copper-bottom cookware. She spend a small fortune on copper cleaner.

Only two sauce pans of the set remained by the late 90s, and I inherited them.

I use a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice with about a quarter teaspoon of table salt.
Spread over the copper and gently rub.
This will return its shine.
Wipe with a damp cloth.
It is more economical than copper cleaner.

BUMP!
