Time for a few more cool things you can do with vinegar from the All You article 45 Uses for Vinegar. I do love this liquid. Again, this is distilled vinegar in case otherwise indicated.
1. When flowers start wilting, put them in a solution for 1 quart of water, 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 1 teaspoon of sugar.
2. Kill weeds in the cracks of the pavement. Pour vinegar over the weeds in the cracks of the walk- or driveway. Make sure to saturate down to the roots.
3. Keep windows frost free. By coating your windshield with a solution of 3 parts vinegar and 1 part water. The acid in the vinegar hinders the windshield from icing over.
4. Kill bacteria in meat. Marinate a steak with balsamic vinegar to kill bacteria. Use 1/4 cup of vinegar for every 2 pounds of meat and add in your choice of spices and herbs. Marinate for as little at 20 minutes or as long as 24 hours. The vinegar will also tenderize the meat.
5. Prevent hard boiled eggs from cracking. Add two tablespoons of vinegar when you hard boil the eggs. The eggs will also be easier to peel.
6. Rinse fruit and vegetables. Use a mixture of 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 1 pint of water to wash your fruit then rinse thoroughly. This will kill more pesticide residue than just water. This amount of vinegar is very important. I poured considerably more into a bowl with water to clean strawberries and they have a little tang to them.
Well, I promise to wrap up this love fest after one more installment. Then, maybe onto baking soda!
