White distilled vinegar is a miracle—all natural, inexpensive, environmentally-friendly, widely available, and so safe that you can eat it!  Plus, there are at least a thousand uses for it—including cleaning, gardening, cooking, laundry, and pet care.  Here are a few of my favorite ways to be clean and green with vinegar:

Remove lime and shine chrome fixtures with a paste made of 2 T. salt and 1 t. vinegar, then rinse and dry with a clean soft cloth (avoid contact with marble surfaces).

Perk up acid-loving plants (like azaleas, rhododendrons, hydrangeas and gardenias) with a mixture of 1 c. vinegar per gallon of water.

Deodorize plastic containers (like trash receptacles and litter boxes) by spraying with a 50/50 vinegar/water mixture.

Clean battery contacts using vinegar on a toothbrush, then wipe with a clean damp cloth and allow to dry (works great on solar yard light batteries!).

Make food safer by spraying fruits and vegetables with a mixture of 1 c. vinegar and 3 c. water (followed by a clean water rinse) right before eating or cooking.

Kill unwanted grass and weeds by pouring vinegar directly on them (especially useful in sidewalk and driveway cracks).

Soothe your sunburn by spraying it with ice-cold vinegar (feels fantastic and may reduce peeling).
