with Vinegar.

Several months ago me and a dear friend of mine were talking about the multiple uses for vinegars and how natural and wonderful it is. I was very hesitant as to its actual capabilities... not to mention the very unpleasant scent of it.

Fast forward to my NOW, and I found myself buying a big jug of vinegar at Target as a more thrifty option to clean our floors between the pine sol. In the mean time I have fallen in love:

It is a GREAT cleaning agent for not only the wood floors, but all the floors.

The [metal?] around the faucets in the shower have residue on it that wont come off no matter what cleaner I try. Vinegar, made it shiny all over again!!!

My dishes were giving sam and I a real headache because our semi-hard water was leaving a nasty residue on all of them. I tried EVERYTHING {or so it seemed} reading the forums, and trying all the tricks and products that others recommended. This last week, I was just going to try to add a lot more vinegar {about 1 cup} verses just a little bit to the dishwasher {just to try one last time} and our dishes came out cleaner than I have seen them in years!!!

Not to mention that you can find a 2 qt jug of it for under $2.

I have since resorted to using vinegar on most of my cleaning. With just Sam and I {and our 8 lb dog} our house doesn't get THAT dirty, just the minimal stuff and lots of dust on our wood floors. So vinegar has been a GREAT and MUCH MORE NATURAL way of cleaning! Needless to say, I have moved past the smell that I once detested. I actually do not mind it anymore.

I think I am going to explore all the types of vinegar and the different uses for them. Oh what an exciting journey! {Seriously!}
