Walking the aisles of the grocery store, it seems clear that you need at least a hundred different bottles of super-strength cleaners to really make your house sparkle. But that’s just marketing dollars. Did you know that the single best cleaner is actually not even found in the cleaning section? That’s right - the most versatile cleaning product in your arsenal is a bottle of 79-cent vinegar! 

What can you use vinegar for? 

• Clean windows (no streaks if you wipe with old newspapers)
• Clean toilets 
• Wipe down refrigerator
• Brighten coffee cups with a paste of vinegar and salt (you can also use this  salt/vinegar paste to scrub away lime buildup)
