Good news for house managers: Vinegar, apart from being a common ingredient in cooking and other recipes, could also be your special assistant in cleaning purposes. More housewives are discovering the effective cleaning uses for vinegar. The substance contains acetic acid, which is used in disinfecting, deodorizing and general cleaning products.

The following are some ideas on how to use vinegar in cleaning:

Clothes Washing. Vinegar is a more economical and environmentally-friendly substitute for fabric softeners. Add half a cup of vinegar to your machine’s liquid fabric softening dispenser then top up with water. The substance actually minimizes the amount of lint accumulating in your lint filter catches as well as makes the drying process safer.

Coffee Makers. Cleaning coffee makers could be very tricky. At least once a month, pour a solution of white vinegar and water to your coffee maker’s water reservoir. Run the coffee maker through the brewing cycle then rinse with water. This will help remove clogging mineral deposits and coffee oils from your coffee maker.

Electric Shavers. Electric shavers could be cleaned regularly by rinsing with hot water but vinegar helps in removing any lingering odor that may have built up over prolonged use. Mix vinegar with ten parts water then use the solution to rinse the shaving head and the hair chamber to remove any odor.

Hardwood Floors. Another of the most common cleaning uses for vinegar is for hardwood floors. Adding a cup of vinegar with one gallon of warm water makes an effective and safe cleaning solution for your hardwood floors. Make sure to map your floors dry after cleaning so that the wood does not swell and crack.
