Wednesday, January 4, 2012



So sorry for forgetting this yesterday.. we had a lot going on the past couple of days so its no surprise to me that I just forgot!

So here are your Late Tuesday Tips!!

This week we are talking about


VINEGAR

Did you know that Vinegar is the power helper of all time...well i did sort of...but check these tips out...


Its a Weed Killer...pour it on weeds in the side walk cracks and wallah...they die!

Pest Killer? Yes add 1tsp. of cider vinegar to every qt. of water. Spritz them down...fleas and pests won't go near them!

Drain Cleaner? drop 3 alka-seltzers down the drain, then pour a bottle of white vinegar down...after 3 minutes run hot water!

Great Mashed Potato trick?????...yep after you beat them up & add the warm milk...try adding a tsp. of vinegar and beat a lil' bit more...it will fluff them up and they will hold their shape! who knew!!!

Streakless windows?? Simply wash with a mixture of equal parts of white distilled vinegar and warm water. Dry with a soft cloth. This solution will make your windows gleam and will not leave the usual film or streaks on the glass.

Cleaner Dishes and Glasses?? Pour 1 ½ cup to 2 cups white distilled vinegar in the bottom of dishwasher, along with regular dishwasher soap. Wash full cycle.

Keeps Flowers Longer Keep flowers fresh longer?? Add 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons white vinegar in a 1-quart vase of water. Trim stems and change water every five days.

Bumper stickers?? Remove bumper stickers by repeatedly wiping the sticker with white distilled vinegar until it is soaked. In a few minutes, it should peel off easily. Test on a small invisible area of the car to ensure there will be no damage to the paint.

Frosted windows?? For those rare winter mornings when there is frost on the car, wipe the windows the night before with a solution of one part water to three parts white distilled vinegar. They won’t frost over.

Worn DVDs ?? If you have a worn DVD that has begun to stick or suffers from the occasional freeze-frame, wipe it down with white distilled vinegar applied to a soft cloth. Ensure the DVD is completely dry before re-inserting in the DVD player. (Note: This only works on DVDs that are scratched of dirty through normal wear.)

Clothes washing magic?? Clothes will rinse better if 1 cup of white distilled vinegar is added to the last rinse water. The acid in vinegar is too mild to harm fabrics, but strong enough to dissolve the alkalies in soaps and detergents.

Unclog steam iron?? Pour equal amounts of white distilled vinegar and water into the iron's water chamber. Turn to steam and leave the iron on for 5 minutes in an upright position. Then unplug and allow to cool. Any loose particles should come out when you empty the water.

Getting the last drops.. When you can’t get the last bit of mayonnaise or salad dressing out of the jar, try dribbling a little of your favorite vinegar into it, put the cap on tightly and shake well. You’ll be amazed at how much you’ve been wasting.

Boiling eggs?? When boiling an egg and it’s cracked, a little vinegar in the water will keep the white from running out.

Fluffy Egg Whites?? Soak a paper towel with 1-2 Tablespoons of white distilled vinegar. Wipe mixing bowl and beaters or whisk with the vinegar-soaked paper towel, then dry with a cloth or paper towel prior to whipping egg whites.

This is just the beginning of what uses there are for vinegar. It has so many uses that in a month or so I'll do another post for you guys. Every home should have it in it.. it works for EVERYTHING!!

Have a great day!
