Vinegar, the perfect aid
Have a good quantity of white fruit vinegar; it can have many different uses around the house. Vinegar disinfects and is perfect for removing fat or grease stains because of the high concentration of aseptic acid it contains. It is ideal in the removal of ingrained dirt and fabulous for cleaning the bathroom and kitchen. Apply directly onto moisture-darkened tile joints and around taps and showerhead. You can attach a plastic bag to keep the showerhead soaked in vinegar for about 2 hours, brush with an old toothbrush or rough-textured sponge and you will be happily surprised. Use it pure to remove grease and other stains from your stove and pots and pans. Mixed with water and kept in a spray bottle, (1 part vinegar to 4 parts water) vinegar has many different uses for cleaning and sterilization such as on smooth surfaces – cutting boards, countertops, desktops, kitchen cabinets, windows and even the floor. Add a few drops of lemon juice for freshness. Vinegar is equally brilliant as a clothes softener. Pour half a glass of vinegar into the softener compartment of the washing machine and feel the difference.
