Vinegar Choice for Cleaning by Heloise
Dear Heloise explains that white or cider vinegar can be used for cleaning. Cider vinegar darkens materials and may stain fabrics but both types work for drains. She promotes a Fantabulous Vinegar pamphlet and offers a free extra pamphlet with orders. For hard water in a decanter, use full strength vinegar overnight plus raw rice for stubborn stains.
