In praise of VINEGAR

I know I am preaching to the converted, but isn’t vinegar amazing?
Ever since I was very small - over 65 years ago my Mum used to rinse my hair after washing with a little vinegar to make it shiny - no fancy products in those days.
I have a refilled spray bottle of dilute vinegar for cleaning kitchen surfaces and it has proved amazing at removing burnt on bits from the bottom of my enamelled Le Creuset casseroles!
Unwilling to attack the inside of one this morning with anything too harsh, I have just boiled up an inch or two of vinegar then wiped the inside with a washing up brush and it’s as good as new.
I use the cheapest white vinegar and swear by it.
Any more suggestions?

thanks MawtheMerrier - what a great topic. I've now made a written note of the white vinegar and apple cider vinegar suggestions. smile

Didn't know apple cider is good to lower cholesterol and type 2 diabetes (no more than two tablespoons per day) so looked these up to make sure they are acceptable with my medication. Eases painful joints too - shall certainly try that.

Will definitely use on the weeds - getting rid of those costs a fortune.

I can also remember using to rinse my hair to make it shine which I had completely forgotten about so will use next time as it can look a little bit dull at times.

Good talking point.

I find one teaspoon in a half pint glass tastes quite pleasant.

Anyone drinking vinegar remember it's acid (like lemon juice) and will take the enamel off your teeth eventually - best to drink through a straw.
