    The Vinegar Institute - Uses & Tips

    The link above give recipe and uses for vinegar.

    I think most like 1:1 ratio for cleaning

    I like to use it straight no water mixed in feels more germ fighting to me.

    Baking soda is used as a scrubber

    You can also make a foam with it by putting vinegar over the baking soda.

    You can use baking soda to keep your drain clean maitance to prevent clogs

    Shake baking soda down drain follow with vinegar let it foam for a while then pour hot water boiling if you feel comfortable with that

    If I use vinegar for cleaning, I use it straight.

    I use a 1:1 ratio. I also like to add a little lavender, tea tree or lemon oil: Sage & Simple: homemade lavender cleaner

    I can't find scouring powder in Denmark, so I use baking soda like Ajax, Comet, etc. to scrub sinks.

    Here's a recipe you can use to clear a clogged drain, it uses baking soda, vinegar and borax: Sage & Simple: diy drain cleaner

    Works much better than the commercial drain cleaners, and is quite cheap too!
