Cleaning with vinegar is one of the safest and most cost effective ways to clean.  Vinegar is not very expensive and most people already have some available in their homes.  It's amazing how many products containing harsh chemicals exist on the market.  You will be astonished by vinegar and it's many uses.

Cleaning the computer and other office equipment. Computer, printer, fax and other office equipment will operate better if you keep them clean and regularly remove dust. Before you start cleaning, see whether the devices are disconnected from the network. In a bucket, combine vinegar and water in equal parts. Dampen a clean cloth in the solution.  Make sure you do not to use a sprayer; the liquid should not get into the devices. Squeeze the cloth and start to wipe. Prepare some cotton sticks to remove the dirt in difficult to reach places (like around the keys of your keyboard).

Cleaning blinds. You can greatly facilitate your work, if you put on a white cotton glove.  Place your hand into the solution of equal parts of vinegar and hot water and wipe every bar on both sides. This is a surprisingly simple and effective method of cleaning blinds! Prepare a bucket of clean water to wash the mud off the gloves on occasion.

Cleaning and deodorizing the drain. The combination of vinegar and baking soda is one of the most effecient ways of getting rid of obstruction and deodorizing drainpipes. In addition, this tool does not develop negative effect on the pipes (and your wallet).

Cleaning mold. If you want to take away stains left by mold, take a bottle of white vinegar. You can safely use this without worrying about the excess ventilation. To remove substantial concentrations of mold, you need raw vinegar. For minor spots vinegar is dissolved in water. To prevent the formation of mold on rugs and carpets, clean them with white vinegar.

Adorable silver. To repair the original shining quality of silver tableware, and silver bracelets, rings and other jewellery, immerse them for 2-3 hours in a mixture of 100 ml of white vinegar and 2 table spoons of baking soda. Later rinse with cold water and thoroughly dry employing a soft rag.

Polishing brass and copper. To restore the missing sheen of soft brass, bronze and copper items, take the paste made of equal parts of white vinegar and salt or vinegar, and baking soda (wait until it stops hissing). Take a clean, soft rag or paper towel and clean the items until they shine. Rinse with cold water and dry with a soft towel.

Removing traces of ballpoint pens. Take a cloth or sponge and wipe those marks with concentrated white vinegar. Keep on rubbing until the traces of the paste disappear.

The next time you need to remove a stain, clean your windows or even scrub the floor, give vinegar a try; you'll be amazed at it's power and at how much money it will save you.
