When I was a kid my mom use to treat my sunburns with vinegar. She would just pour it over the burned area and it took the sting out. Sure, I smelled a bit like a pickle, but it was a small trade-off for the relief I got.

We buy vinegar in gallon jugs at Costco. I put it in a Downey ball for the rinse cycle when I wash our son’s diapers, we use it as hair conditioner, we clean counters, windows, bathrooms, and floors with it… vinegar and baking soda are the only cleaning products I use. I love all the ideas you have here – nice work with the computer touchscreen!

Great tips for using vinegar. I think I will need to add them to my list! Thanks for commenting.

I use a very weak solution of vinegar and water to clean tear stain residue from my dog’s white fur. I have found this to be more effective than the commercial products I have been buying and I feel good about it too, because I know the vinegar isn’t harmful if my other dog happens to lick her eyes. Just be VERY careful to make the solution weak and not to get any of it in the eyes.

I use vinegar a lot this summer when we were vacationing at my in-laws near a lake. The mosquitos practically ate my poor kids up until my mother-in-love suggested we put vinegar on the bites. The vinegar was very soothing and also seemed to act as a repellant.

I use vinegar and crumpled up newspaper for washing windows. The glass dries completely streak free. I also like vinegar for removing lime deposits. Our water is mineral heavy and lime was a bad problem for me until I started using vinegar. Great tips by the way.
