Chances are you think of vinegar as something you’d use when making dinner, be it for salad dressing, chutney, various marinades, and more. It’s also an ingredient in popular condiments like hot sauce and ketchup. But vinegar isn’t just for cooking. It’s for cleaning, too.
It might come as a surprise, but vinegar is quite the all-natural and very inexpensive cleaning product. After you see the video that’s posted below, it may become your go-to cleaning product. Melissa Maker, who started a cleaning business before she took to the internet to share her cleaning wisdom will outline ten different ways to use vinegar for cleaning. She focuses on some lesser-known examples.
