Little Mizz Know It All's Blog

Hello America,

So after careful consideration of what to write about next I decided I  needed to show everyone how easy it is to make your own products. It is important to know all the things you can use  in your house.

VINEGAR -has been around for thousands of years, it can be used to make products for you, your bathroom, your garden, your kitchen, home remedies,  it can be used in your food, to diet, on machine.  I consider vinegar to be a super power!!!!

I think people forget the simplicity of things. We are so bombarded with the reinvention of every product under the sun. We are in a hamster wheel, running to spend the money we don’t have on the newest, latest, not even close to being worthy product. We can actually make pretty much everything we could ever need with vinegar!!!!

Clean your iron!!!-

Fill the water tank with white vinegar. Turn the iron to the steam setting and steam-iron a soft utility rag to clean the steam ports. Repeat the process with water, then thoroughly rinse out the inside of your iron

Clean lime deposits and calcium sludge from an automatic drip coffee maker!!!-

Once a month fill the reservoir with white vinegar and run through the brew cycle. Rinse thoroughly with two cycles of cold water.

Clean the hoses and unclog soap scum from a washing machine!!!-

Once a month pour one cup of white vinegar into the washing machine and run the machine through a normal cycle, without clothes.

Clean rust from tools, bolts, and spigots ( how many of you actually have any spigots)!!!-

Soak the rusted tool, bolt, or spigot in undiluted white vinegar overnight.

Keep a garbage disposal clean and smelling fresh!!!-

Mix one cup of vinegar in enough water to fill an ice cube tray, freeze the mixture, grind the cubes through the disposal, and flush with cold water, also add a little lemon juice for a fresh scent!

Remove stubborn coffee stained cups and pots!!!-

Fill the cup with vinegar overnight, then rinse with hot soapy water.

Prevents misty spots on glassware!!!-

Place a cup of white vinegar on the bottom rack of the dishwasher, run for five minutes, then run though the full cycle. A cup of white vinegar run through the entire cycle once a month will also reduce soap scum on the inner workings.

Eliminate unpleasant cooking odors in the kitchen!!!-

Boil one tablespoon of white vinegar with one cup of water.

Eliminate odors from used jars!!!-

Rinse peanut butter and mayonnaise jars with white vinegar.

Deodorize a stale lunch box!!!-

Soak a paper napkin in vinegar and leave it inside the closed lunch box overnight.

Kill bacteria in meat!!!-

Marinating meat in vinegar kills bacteria and tenderizes the meat. Use one-quarter cup vinegar for a two to three pound roast, marinate overnight, then cook without draining or rinsing the meat. Add herbs to the vinegar when marinating as desired.

Cheese storage!!!-

Cheese will last longer if you store it in a vinegar soaked cloth.

Clean food-stained pots and pans!!!-

Fill the pots and pans with white vinegar and let stand for thirty minutes. Then rinse in hot, soapy water.

Wipe out caked food in the microwave!!!-

Fill a small bowl with equal parts hot water, place it in the microwave and set the power to high for 5 minutes. The steam built up inside makes it easier to clean.

Remove chewing gum!!!-

Freeze it out and scrape off as much as you can first. Then saturate the area that has the gum on it with vinegar. The rest of the gum will actually dissolve. If the vinegar is heated first the process will work faster.

Relief Jellyfish stings!!!-

Dot the irritation with vinegar to relieve itching

Relieve a sore throat!!!-

Put two teaspoons of vinegar in your humidifier, also gargling with apple cider vinegar is fantastic!

Athlete’s foot (and all other fungal infections)!!!-

Relieve a cough!!!-

Mix one-half cup apple cider vinegar, one-half cup water, one teaspoon cayenne pepper, and four teaspoons honey. Take one tablespoon when cough acts up. Take another tablespoon at bedtime.

Dandruff treatment!!!-

Simply pour a few tablespoons of vinegar on your hair and massage into your scalp. Wait a few minutes, then rinse and wash hair like normal. Try this for a few days until you see results. It restores chemical balance to the skin.

Acne remedy!!!-

Remedy for acne skin conditions when diluted 50:50 with water and used as a toner. Careful around the eyes.

Take care of body odors!!!-

Use vinegar when soap won’t knock down the body odor in your arm pits. And any other area you feel requires attention.

As I  sit here and continue adding more and more things to this list I realize that by now you get my point. Run out and buy some vinegar right away. Try to get it in a glass jar, and if you will be intending to use it on your body make sure you purchase “organic”. There is literally thousands of sites with all these sorts of remedies and solutions.

I myself use vinegar and water equal parts to clean everything!! Windows I even use newspaper to clean with to recycle even more.

I can not stress to you what a super power vinegar is!
