Vinegar is not just a cleaning agent; it has many amazing uses that are often overlooked. UAportal tells you about the seven best alternative ways to use it, which many people may not know about.

1. Garden protection

Deter unwanted visits from cats to your garden by using vinegar. Sprinkle vinegar on the areas around flower beds and garden beds. The aroma scares cats away, forcing them to look for alternative places to relieve themselves.

2. Say goodbye to hiccups

Put an end to constant hiccups by trying this remedy. Dissolve a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water and drink it. Although the effectiveness may vary, it is worth a try.

3. Glue remover

Get rid of stickiness by turning to vinegar for help. When you're trying to squeeze glue out of a tube or have glued objects together by mistake, use vinegar. Its powerful properties instantly dissolve the glue.

4. A natural disinfectant

Ensure your fresh fruits and vegetables are free of harmful bacteria and pesticides. Mix three cups of water with one cup of vinegar in a spray bottle, spray the produce, and effectively sanitize it. Then rinse with water.

5. Say goodbye to stains

When traditional methods fail to remove stubborn stains on the carpet, use a solution of vinegar and water. Spray the mixture on the stain, let it work, and then clean the surface.

6. Extend the freshness of flowers

Often, a bouquet needs extra help to keep it fresh. To extend the life of cut flowers, add a drop of vinegar and half a tablespoon of sugar to warm water in a vase.

7. Cleaning windows

Ditch the expensive and toxic window cleaners and use vinegar instead. Create a simple but effective solution by mixing two tablespoons of vinegar with 3.5 liters of water. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle, apply it liberally to the windows, and then wash them thoroughly.
