5 Uses for Vinegar

5 Uses for Vinegar


  1. Most of you would know this can be used for cleaning most surfaces around the house, tiles,mirrors, bathrooms, kitchens etc.  I like to use it with lemon &  Bicarbonate of soda
  2. Makes a very effective - albeit slow - weedkiller. I would suggest you use a spray bottle if your vinegar bottle doesn't come with a slow release spout. What I like about this is as the unwanted plants decompose, the acidic PH of the vinegar will naturally feed the soil.
  3. Apple cider vinegar helps to smooth rough dry hair cuticles by restoring the hairs' PH balance. 


    • Wash and/or condition hair
    • In a jug use a ratio of 1 part Apple cider Vinegar to 4 parts water (not any other vinegar!) pour this over the hair. Leave on hair for about 5 mins then rinse with cool or lukewarm water. You can leave it on hair without rinsing out too, there is no smell once the hair dries.
  4. A useful health aid in digestion & detox, again only Apple Cider Vinegar 1 to 2 tablespoons in a bottle of filtered water.
  5. If you have a lot of limescale build up in your kettle, you can use white vinegar to clean it. 

    • First boil the kettle a little less than half full, then add the vinegar and leave the solution for at least an hour.
    • Empty kettle then boil with fresh water several times & discard - pour this down anything for an extra clean or germ kill, such as your sink, outside your front/back door etc. I pour it over weeds on my  pavement
