Uses for Vinegar

You’re going to want to make sure you always have white vinegar on hand for all of these amazing uses.

• Unclog a drain – Pour half a cup of baking soda in the drain, then follow it with a mixture of one cup white vinegar and one cup of hot water. Plug the drain with a cloth rag  for about 10 minutes to let the bubbles work. Finish by pouring boiling hot water down the drain.
