Vinegar is a health remedy, a neutralizer, a cleaner, a condiment, and a preservative. It can kill bacteria, mold, and germs, yet it is environmentally safe. This comprehensive guide covers all types and uses of vinegar, including how to make flavored varieties and using it as the basis for kids’ science projects. A full index and whimsical illustrations make the book informative and fun.

This book seems to go hand in hand with her book about using baking soda for many household tasks and avoiding the toxins present in so many commercial cleaning products.  Vicky’s book, “Baking Soda: Over 500 Fabulous, Fun and Frugal Uses You’ve Probably Never Thought Of” lets you in on so many different ways to use baking soda.  She also gives the reader a thorough history of baking soda that is interesting and informative.

Learn how you can make your own dishwasher soap, use it as a fabric softener, grease cleaners, make kids play-dough and craft dough and so much more.

I learned so many neat tips and tricks through these great books and I cannot wait to use them.  I now see a need for the supersize box of baking soda sold at Sams.  I also think I will be buying vinegar by the barrel.  With kids and animals around I really like these alternative cleaning, cooking, and home solutions that are healthy and work.
