OMG Maw I cannot bear the smell of it. Himself uses white vinegar in the kettle in Spain because the hard water out there coats the element. 😱

We shared tapas with friends once and when a plate of chips was brought to the table, the wife liberally sprinkled vinegar all over them - assuming wrongly that we all liked it. No chips for me then that day ha!

Vinegar is meant to have amazing properties though so this thread will be interesting to read I expect. I think I read that some folk drink a small amount of wine vinegar (?) a day. Yuk.

De-scaling a kettle, cleaning windows, washing floors. It cleans just about everything.

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?
