I know how very sad you must be, but this is the last installment of my antique vinegar book that I have been sharing tips from. Don't fret though, I unearthed an old magazine about the ways you can use salt around the house. In all seriousness, vinegar can be used in so many ways and it's inexpensive, not to mention safe for kids and pets to be around.
- Get out of tough scrapes: Scraping ice off your car's windshield is one winter chore you would like to avoid. If you have to leave your car out overnight in the winter, coat the windows with a solution of three parts vinegar to one part water and they'll be frost-free in the AM.
- Don't be a pest: Ants may be on the march, invading your territory, but you can deter them by using harsh insecticides. Spread a solution of white vinegar/water (1 to 1 concentration) all around their points of entry - door jambs, windowsills, and foundation cracks. CAUTION: Be careful not to spill vinegar on your plants or shrubs.
- The lime fighter: After working with garden lime, you can neutralize its harsh, drying effects on your hands by dousing them freely with white vinegar. Follow with a cold water rinse. No more rough, flaking skin.
