Vinegar is used for cleaning and other applications, since ancient Sumerian times. It is a very useful and affordable product. Vinegar is often used as an acidic agent in cooking, because it is food safe and very sour. What a lot of people don't know is that this natural green friendly product has seemingly endless uses around the house. You can find vinegar in the cleaning or baking aisles at the grocery store.
Most of the cures call for white vinegar, unless otherwise specified. A few of the recipes may call for apple cider vinegar, mainly because it is easier to swallow. Both the white vinegar and apple cider vinegar will carry out the same goals. You should play around with the recipes, test things out, and see what works for you. With vinegar the possibilities are endless.
