Apple cider vinegar cleaning hacks: 10 household uses for apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is a vinegar made from crushed apples that contains acetic acid. The biggest difference between apple cider vinegar and vinegar for cleaning is the smell – apple cider vinegar leaves a more pleasant smell.

Everyday kitchen cleaner

If you already use vinegar to clean your surfaces, then use apple cider vinegar.

Spray diluted apple cider vinegar on your surfaces to get rid of dirt, grease, mineral deposits and even some bacteria.

It can work on your counters, fridge shelves, microwave and almost anywhere in your kitchen.

Add essential oils if the smell bothers you.

Mold

Mold is often found in your bathroom – especially in bathtubs and shower curtains.

Use undiluted apple cider vinegar to get rid of the mold.

Pour a few cups of ACV into the tub and fill the tub with warm water.

Leave it for four hours to remove the stains in the bath and then drain it and rinse with boiling water.

To get rid of the mold on towels or shower curtains, just add a cup of ACV to a hot cycle and wash it normally.

Decorated silverware

Any affected silver can be polished with apple cider vinegar.

Simply soak your silver in half a cup of apple cider vinegar and a dash of baking soda.

Let it sit for a few hours and then rinse it off with fresh water.

Deodorise

Apple cider vinegar can neutralize bad odors.

Simmer a little ACV in a pan in the kitchen and let the vinegar do its job.

Alternatively leave a bowl or two in a room or even in the fridge.

Stained carpet

Carpet stains are always hard to remove, but ACV will do the trick.

Put a few tablespoons of the stuff in a soft cloth and rub it on the stain.

Let it dry and then stop the mess and the stain will be dramatically reduced.

Clogged drain

If your plow hole in your bathroom or kitchen starts to release a foul odor, or if the sink drains slowly, use apple cider vinegar to clog it.

Pour a few tablespoons of baking soda into the drain and then a cup of ACV afterwards.

Let the mixture melt for half an hour and rinse the sink with water.

Washing machine

Add half a cup of apple cider vinegar to each wash to keep clothes soft and stain-free.

This trick also gets rid of grease, grime and grime that builds up in the machine and prevents machines that smell bad from occurring frequently.

Weed killer

Do you need to kill weeds but do not want to use chemicals?

Pour ACV directly on weed areas in the garden to prevent your flower beds from growing.
