Cleaning glass with vinegar and water

From personal experience I know that vinegar and water can take hard water deposits off a shower glass. White distilled vinegar is an awesome cleaning tool – effective, environmentally healthy and easier on the lungs than ammonia.

I was going to dig up a bunch of links on vinegar cleaning tips, but I found one that contains so many it’s all you need. My favorites include:

Deodorize the garbage disposal by pouring in 1/2 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup hot white distilled vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes then run hot water down the disposal.

Remove mineral deposits from coffee makers with white distilled vinegar. Fill the water reservoir with 1 cup or more of white distilled vinegar and run it through a whole cycle. Run it once or twice more with plain water to rinse clean. (Check the owners’ manual first.)

Discourage ants by spraying undiluted white distilled vinegar outside doorways and windowsills, around appliances and wherever you find the pests coming in.
