I LOVE using vinegar,
very much! It has become a staple in my home. I recently went to COSTCO so that
I could by a 5L bottle of white vinegar for less then $4.00. I felt such a rush
scoring that deal that I literally giggled as I hauled it into my cart. That is
how much I love vinegar.
I typically use White Vinegar for the home and Apple Cider
for my hair and skin however, I will replace ACV with WV when I run out.
Vinegar is awesome because it cleanses hair and is often
used to treat dandruff. It’s anti-fungal, disinfecting, and Ph balancing
properties are also useful when cleansing/healing your body and cleaning your
home.
Here are the Top 5 Reasons
I love Vinegar
1. I have reduced the use of commercial cold and sinus
medications that are full of so much junk with using this homemade cold and flu formula recipe instead
2. Being pregnant with my daughters made me want to stop
using cleaners with heavy fumes so now I make several mild homemade cleaners.
All purpose cleaner- http://wonkywonderful.com/1/post/2012/06/natural-lemon-vinegar-cleaner.html
Tub cleaner- Use 1 part Dawn, and 1 part warm White Vinegar,
spray the tub and leave the mixture on there for several hours. Next, rinse
your tub with hot to warm water and see the sparkling results!
3. Natural Feminine Wash.
4. I have used ACV rinses for a long time but now I have
added a vinegar/baking soda wash during my shampoo
process. My scalp is left clean and my hair is fresh and shiny. When my
consultant washes my hair, in a similar fashion as this, it looks as though I
have used a shine serum because it is super shiny!!
Step 1- Rinse locs very well
Step 2- Take a 1-2 tbsp of baking soda and water to make a
paste and then massage my scalp with it. I also smooth the mixture down the
length of my locs
Step 3- I use a spray bottle full of vinegar and spray my
hair with it till I hear bubbling
Step 4- After I have massaged my locs I rinse the vinegar
and baking soda up
Step 5- I wash my hair another 2 times using a clarifying
shampoo
Here is the link where I discovered this method. I use Recipe
B and I considering using Recipe C, very soon.

5. Every so often I add 1 cup of white vinegar to my washing
machine to get cleaner and fluffier
towels. The vinegar will get rid of detergent build up and any musky smells
that you get from forgetting your load of towels in the washer…ooops.
If you have a case of stinky mildew towels use this 3 step
process.
Step 1- Wash
your towels in only hot water with 1 cup of vinegar,
Step 2- Run the
towels again in hot water with a ½ cup of baking soda. This will strip your
towels of that residue and mildew smell and will actually leave them feeling
fluffy and smelling fresh.
Step 3- Dry
as usual
I hope that
you find a way to add more vinegar to your life, you will not regret it!
Stay Blessed,
