Even in times of a wide range of household chemicals presented in modern stores, ordinary vinegar is still not going to give up its palm in washing windows and mirrors.

To make glass surfaces sparkle with cleanliness, you need to mix equal amounts of vinegar and water and pour the resulting mixture into a spray bottle.

Many housewives, however, are in no hurry to use an analogue of store-bought “chemicals” because of the pungent smell.

The problem is easy to solve – just add a few drops of essential oil with your favorite aroma.

In addition, vinegar will also come in handy when it becomes necessary to tidy up items made of silver or nickel silver.

Acid is an indispensable assistant when it comes to removing long-standing scale from a kettle.

For this purpose, it is worth combining vinegar and water, taken in equal volumes, and boiling the resulting mixture for 10-20 minutes.

If the task is to get rid of soap and lime stains, vinegar is again right there.

Apply a cloth soaked in hot acid to the contaminated areas and leave for half an hour.
