Vinegar & its use

Recently i tried a few methods of using vinegar for household chores as suggested by many people on the TV and Youtube. Some did work, while some unfortunately did not.....

1) Vinegar for cleaning purposes ~ yes, it helps to make the floor feel & look much cleaner..The trick, just drop some vinegar in your usual cleaning solution, it also works if you prefer to use plain water and vinegar.

2) Vinegar to get rid of weeds ~ well, quite disappointing...i sprayed some on the weeds in my garden and found out they are still around...perhaps it is only effective on certain weeds?

3) Vinegar to get rid of ants & pests ~ well,  certainly not ants...it didn't work. full stop. But it works for getting rid of unwanted cat attention on poop spot. My next-door neighbour's cats love to take a dump in my garden.  I have tried shooing them away many times, but they would returned and pooped again and again on my lawn. I tried spraying some vinegar on the spot they usually pooped and have finally got rid of their disgusting, if not smug habit.

4) Vinegar for protection against the evil spirit ~ well, there is a hadis on this, I'm told. Anyhow, i simply poured some in a small cup and left them by the kitchen window. Nothing to lose for trying, right? Prevention is better than cure!

Well, there are other suggestions for the use of vinegar, but i haven't tried them all....like :

  • get rid of tea/coffee stains in your cup  ~ pour vinegar in the cup, leave it for a while,  and wash the cup like usual.
  • stop cat from scratching furniture ~ spray vinegar on the furniture to stop your cat from scratching it
  • get rid of dandruff ~ massage some vinegar on your scalp, rinse, and then wash with regular shampoo.
Well, it is a cheap alternative...whether they work or not, you got to try them  yourself!
