      VINEGAR, WHO KNEW?

      The Multi-Purpose Product

      Most of us know that vinegar will clean a coffeemaker and shine a window. And, of course, everyone knows that it's great on salads. But did you know that it can also clean your jewelry, kill your weeds, keep fleas off your dog, and deodorize a room? And you may not know this either: Scientific studies conducted in recent years show vinegar to be effective in helping people with type 2 diabetes control their blood glucose levels.

      The truth is, vinegar can do all that and more. In fact, vinegar can do so much around the house that there may be little need for that stash of cleaning products under the sink. Unlike many of those products, vinegar is non-abrasive, so it's safe to use on even the most delicate glassware. It's also non-toxic, allowing it to be used harmlessly around kids and pets. Without a doubt, there are few products available today that are as versatile as vinegar, as effective, as safe, and as cheap.

      Vinegar Basics

      Vinegar (from the French word vinaigre, sour wine) is mostly water containing an active ingredient of acetic acid. It is made from a variety of raw materials such as fruits, grains, sugars, syrups, and wine, which are fermented to form ethyl alcohol. To this is added acetic acid-forming bacteria which converts the alcohol to vinegar. The many varieties of vinegar (distilled white, apple cider, wine, malt, and garlic, among others) are determined by the raw materials used, as well as by the fermenting and distilling processes.

      Vinegar History

      Vinegar has been around for a long time. The ancient Babylonians were the first to turn wine into vinegar, sometime around 5,000 B.C. The idea of soured wine eventually passed down to the Greeks and Romans, whose literature abounds with passages reflecting its popularity. Hippocrates, for example, used vinegar as an antibiotic. Helen of Troy bathed in it as a way of relaxing. And Cleopatra supposedly dissolved her pearls in vinegar to win a bet with Mark Antony that she could consume a fortune in a single meal.

      By 1,000 B.C. many Oriental cultures had discovered the food preserving quality of vinegar and added spices to improve its taste. During the Black Plague of the Middle Ages, thieves poured vinegar over their hands before robbing the dead to ward off germs. And during the seventeenth century, Europeans commonly used vinegar as a deodorant and deodorizer; the aristocracy would often be seen holding vinegar-scented sponges to their noses to mask the smell of offensive street sewage. In American history, vinegar was reportedly used during the Civil War to treat and prevent scurvy and later used in World War I to treat wounds of soldiers.

      A Few Recommendations

      Unless stated otherwise, simple distilled white vinegar of the least expensive variety will work just fine for most of the ideas in this book. Save the more expensive gourmet vinegars for your palette.

      Get a couple of spray bottles to keep solutions of vinegar and water–or straight undiluted vinegar–handy in your kitchen, your laundry room, your garage, or wherever you keep your cleaning supplies.

      Don't assume that mixing vinegar with one of your other cleansers will enhance that product's effectiveness. It could be dangerous. The acetic acid in vinegar when mixed with some lavatory bowl cleaners, for example, produces a deadly chlorine gas.

      Don’t get too hung up on exact measurements, even though you will see suggested ratios in many of the tips printed here. They are just that, suggestions. Even different vinegar makers and other published household tipsters will sometimes differ on whether to use a 1/2 cup vs. whole cup, etc. Use the given suggestions as a guideline at first, and adjust when and if you feel it’s necessary. Don’t be afraid of using your instinct. A splash in many cases is just as good as a measured tablespoon.

      Now, go into the kitchen and grab that bottle! (The vinegar bottle, of course.)
