It’s always best to purchase and use the right cleaning products for your hardwood floors; if you’ve safely used a DIY vinegar-based solution already, then your surfaces should be fine if it was heavily diluted with water.
Still, though, you should stay away from using any kind of vinegar as a cleaning solution for your hardwood floors altogether. Why? Because the acid in the vinegar might damage the wood or the chemical varnish on them.
Vinegar to Clean Water Stains
Vinegar has often been praised as a miracle substance, capable of cleaning tiles, washing dogs, killing unwanted weeds, and extending the life of cut flowers. So it should come as no wonder that vinegar can help clean water stains from car bodies and glass.
White vinegar is mildly acidic, making it an effective rival to alkaline deposits. All you need is white vinegar, distilled water, a clean bowl, a spray bottle, a cotton towel, and paper towels.
Unclog Your Sink
Need a quick fix for a clogged drain in your sink? This mixture reminds us of volcano experiments we had to do in school because the main ingredients are baking soda and vinegar.
Use one part baking soda and one part vinegar to make a powerful concoction that will unclog even the most stubborn of sinks. Leave the mixture in the sink and watch it clear up in a few minutes. This mixture works when a plunger has already been used and the attempt to unclog a sink has been futile.
Boil Eggs Better
If your eggs split when your boil them you might want to try this hack. By pouring two teaspoons of vinegar into a pan with four cups of water, you can salvage that split egg as the vinegar stops the white from leaking out – which means you'll end up with a perfectly boiled egg.
It's a simple trick that doesn't require much effort and it truly works!
Fruit Stains
If your hands are left with orange and pink stains after preparing fruits and vegetables, vinegar can assist. Just wash your hands with some vinegar and water and voila!
Vinegar can also be used to help remove fruit stains from clothes. Add one tablespoon of vinegar for each cup of water and half a teaspoon of detergent, and leave your garment to soak before you put it in the machine.
