Found this neat little website on the uses of white vinegar and thought I would share is here. �I noticed the tip on window cleaner said to use vinegar, dish detergent, and water. �I thought vinegar and water were suppose to work without soap but I may be wrong. �I haven't tried to use vinegar for cleaning yet. �Really the only surfaces I clean often are the counter tops and they are marble. Ben did it himself years ago. �When he first bought this place he lined the counter tops with marble bathroom tiles so he could have marble counter tops and not have to worry about using a cutting board. �Well, needless to say I can't use vinegar on them, marble doesn't get along to well with acids. �But anyway here is the link.

vinegar tips

I use a 1 part vinegar to 5 parts water solution for basic cleaning. Vinegar is a natural antiseptic, so you can clean a lot of stuff with it (except marble lol!).

For the windows/glass you can use the vinegar/water solution and the wipe it clean with newspaper.... no seriously.... it doesn't leave behind streaks when it dries. You can always add a touch of lemon to the solution if the vinegar smell is too nasty, but the smell dissapates quickly.

i'm a vinegaraholic...

i spray down the house daily with white vinegar, use it with newspaper to clean the windows, and drink 2 tbsp/8oz. water as a tonic for general ailments (cold, sinus, fatigue come to mind)

earthclinic.com also lists many uses for vinegar.

cheers!  (puke)

Realeyez, why the pukey dude? LOL

I love that windex has now put out a vinegar prduct!!! They're finally getting a clue!

you drink vinegar before? it's not for the weak of stomach ...

My mom had the hiccups once so bad they hurt her.  I was still living with her at the time and she knows I am into herbs and natural remedies.  Sugar didn't work, neither did drinking water.  And with her back and neck there was no way for her to try drinking upside down.  So I looked in a book of Chinese food cures and there was one for hiccups.  It suggested mixing 1 part rice vinegar with 1 part water and having the vict... err... patient drink that very slowly.

All we had was apple cider vinegar but I decided to try it.  I told her to drink it very slowly but she took a big ol' swig.  She cussed me for an hour but it worked.  Now I live in a house that always has rice vinegar, and a few times when I have gotten hiccups i have remembered and took a sip of straight vinegar.  Never failed me once

yes, apple cider vinegar is the tonic vinegar. i use white vinegar for the cleaning.

Once upon a time, I was a night manager of a small grocery store. �We would mop the floor with a solution of vinegar and water. �It worked beautifully--no streaks at all. �The trick was to not overdo it. �One night, a new employee put wayyyyyy too much vinegar into the mop water. �I thought nothing of it; the smell permeated the store and would probably linger long enough to annoy the morning people, but I didn't particularly care for them anyway. �When it was tme for the bar to close, one of the town drunks wandered in. �Large quantities of alcohol, fried food, and the smell of vinegar apparently don't go well together at 3:00 a.m. �The result was spectacular. �He took a couple of steps inside, and it was obvious whenthe smell hit him. �He got that look that foretold Something Bad happening. �He covered his mouth and turned toward the door. �He almost made it out. �The new employee had a real mess to clean up. �Sometimes there's no substitute for chlorine bleach.
