Uses Of Vinegar

I had heard that if you use white vinegar in your dishwasher instead of Jet Dry, it does the same thing, but a bit better. So I had just run out of my Jet Dry and thought that instead of paying the extreme cost of a new Jet Dry, I would use some of the vinegar I have in my cupboard.

I have to admit that I was a bit unsure at first. But when I opened the dishwasher my glasses seemed more sparkly than before! I don't think the sun actually shining into my dishwasher was the actual reason! LOL!

So I had to look online and I found this:

To prevent good glassware from getting etched by minerals, wash then spray with full-strength white distilled vinegar. Give the glasses a hot water rinse before letting them dry or drying them with a towel.

So instead of spraying it like that, put it in the Jet Dry spot. I am drinking from one of the cups right now and I thought that maybe I'd taste the vinegar, but I don't...thankfully.

It's 1001 tips for vinegar! There is some really cool stuff in there too that I never thought about doing before!

And a side note here, which has nothing to do with vinegar. My husband and I have been married for almost 13 years. Most of our appliances (electric skillet, crockpot, blender, food processor, can opener, etc) we got when we were married. Apparently, they all have a life span of almost 13 years! Everything seems have fallen apart at once! It's the year of replacing appliances in our home! Our can opener isn't really an appliance. I don't like electric ones and I usually get a nice hand one. Surprisingly, that lasted me all these years too. However last night, it only lasted through 4 1/2 of the 5 cans I had to open! Had to pry open that last can! I have a sliced finger to prove it too! OUCH! So, now I have to replace that too! So, my tip is, save up when you get close to your 13 year mark to replace all those appliances that will all start to stop working! LOL! Then save up for your 26 year mark and so forth!

P.S. I put the link to the 1001 Uses of Vinegar under the Helpful Links to the side. I hope y'all don't mind! It may come in handy one day for someone and save them the trouble of searching for this post of mine!
