Finally---Vinegar Part III

It's taken a little longer than I thought--but here is part III of Uses for Vinegar from the All You article.  I found out one of my readers tried the vinegar to kill weeds on her deck.  So nice to give useful information.  : )   And, remember these are  all using white vinegar unless otherwise stated.  Here we go with the last installment...

1.  Erase crayon.  Dip a toothbrush in vinegar and gently scrub. The vinegar will break down the wax without doing damage to the wall.

2.  Renew a loofah.  Get rid of soap residue by  soaking it in equal parts vinegar and water.

3.  Sticky stuff from stickers.  Apply vinegar to  the gunk and let it sit for a few minutes and the stick stuff should come right up.  Works on the stick stuff on scissors too.

4.  Prepping the grill.  This one is a little late in the season, but those who have charcoal grills. Spray vinegar on balled up aluminum foil and scrub the grate thoroughly.

5.  Restore shower shower pressure.  Soak the shower head in a 1/2 cup of vinegar and a quart of water for 15 minutes and the mineral deposits will dissolve right off.

6.  Unclogging a drain.  This is one of my favorites and it looks a little like a science project.  Pour 1 cup of baking soda and follow with 1 cup of vinegar.  The products will bubble and foam and then wash it all down with a pot of boiling water.

There a bunch of other ideas in the article but these were the highlights.  Hope some of these work for you and go to All You to for other ideas with vinegar.
