I can remember the first time I learned you could use vinegar for general cleaning around the house. I was pregnant with my first daughter, and was watching Jon & Kate Plus 8 (classy, I know). They had a guest on the show, Sara Snow, who was teaching them how to go green around the house. Kate and Sara were in the kitchen, and Sara told her that she could combine half vinegar and half water in a spray bottle and use it to clean her kitchen and all around her house.
At that point in my life, I don’t think I’d ever even purchased vinegar, maybe once for a recipe, but I’m not even sure about that. On the show, Sara stated that vinegar had disinfecting qualities, and Kate had remarked that she remembered her grandmother using vinegar to clean. And I figured that if they were talking about it on TV, then it must be true, and it must work well. Right?
I was brand new to the whole green and natural living thing, but I decided that using vinegar for cleaning would be a good place to start.
