Vinegar is typically used only for cooking. However, there are numerous ways to use it during the daily household chores. In case you are someone who wants to cut down on buying chemical cleaning products then vinegar can be a great alternative. It is not only natural but is also as efficient as a chemical based cleaner. In today's ideabook we are going to tell you about seven such ways of using vinegar at home.

1. Acts as a glass polish

Clear glass objects can showcase stains or cloudy surfaces even after washing them regularly. Whether you use detergent or any other liquid nothing proves to be as effective as a vinegar and salt solution. All you need to do is rub the mixture gently on the affected area and later clean it with water.

2. Unclog your bathroom sink

Blocked kitchen sinks are not that uncommon. For unclogging it put a cup of baking soda in the drain and pour some vinegar over. These two components are known to react chemically, which dissolves all the solid particles and flushes them out of the pipe. However, you should always put warm water in your sink once you see the bubbles forming.

3. Cleans the shower faucet

To solve this problem, you can put equal amounts of vinegar and hot water in the shower faucet for about an hour. This will make it easy for you to clean the shower head later with a brush.

4. Removes window stains
