5 Things To Do With...Vinegar

1. CLEAN A COFFEEMAKER
Get rid of stains and mineral deposits by filling the reservoir with 1 part white vinegar, 2 parts water, and brewing. Repeat every three weeks.

2. PREVENT COLORS FROM RUNNINGS
To keep new clothes or towels from losing color, soak them in 1 part vinegar, 1 part cold water for 15 minutes before washing.

3. KILL GRASS AND WEEDS
Pour vinegar on upshoots between bricks and flagstones. The acidic component kills young weeks in one dousing.

4. FRESHEN WILTEN VEGETABLES
Perk up soggy leafy vegetables by soaking them in 2 cups cold water mixed with 1 Tbsp vinegar for 10 minutes. Rince, dry and serve.

5. AVOID MOLDY CHEESE
Soak a cloth in vinegar, wrap it around hard cheese, and seal in an airtight container or ziptop bag. Done! The vinegar prevents mold spores.
