The Magic of Vinegar

via Google

Happy Monday!  This week, an easy way to be green is to switch from traditional cleaners to vinegar.  This magic liquid can be used to clean just about anything, and is acidic enough to kill most mold and bacteria.  White vinegar is dirt cheap, nontoxic for people and animals, and isn’t harmful for the environment.  Add some lemon juice for a fresh scent and extra shine. 

• To unclog drains, try pouring baking soda followed by vinegar, and your inner chemist can sit back and delight in the ensuing fizz.  
• I mix one part vinegar, two parts water, and a splash of  liquid castile soap to wash floors squeaky clean.
• To absorb unfortunate household odors (burn those cookies?), place small bowls of vinegar around the house.  When I moved into an apartment that still smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, we wiped down the walls directly with vinegar 

Any other vinegar cleaning tips to share?  They're all over the internet!  What's worked well for you?
