I have always put a good slash in soapy water when i clean the windows.They alway come up well..
So long as all the bits are removed it does a great job.Also have on chips.:)

Always re-use mine as half a mugful into a basin on rinse water when washing my long hair- brings it up lovely.

A splash of re-purposed vinegar in the rinse water for the windows and polish off with crumpled newspaper.

If you have anything small and badly corroded, immerse it in vinegar in a jam-jar over night. When you see what it does to rust you'll think twice about using it as a food-stuff.............:rotfl:

I have 2 large jars of Morrisons pickled gherkins, neither have any gherkins left in them but they have the vinegar and I was wondering if there was anything that I could do with it?

Anyone got any ideas or previous experience.

PS it is spirit vinegar in it and not malt as I am Coeliac.

Thank-you

Use it for French dressing?

If you like beetroot and have some leftover cooked, drop that in there, or cucumber, or cabbage or carrot grated up, courgette, that kind of thing -

I do that more with beetroot vinegar (which is also great for adding to sauces and soups where it needs 'something' but you don't want to add any wine)

Non-edible use but I saw someone mention the other day on here that they use it to clean the toilet - very resourceful!

slice some onions and cucumber and use some of the vinegar to cover them leave overnight or 2 days if you can then have with cheese or salmon sandwiches , a traditional sunday night tea where I live x

wonderful on chips! gives it that Maccy D taste. otherwise keep it tightly lidded and use it to pickle cucumber (only needs a short amount of time - minutes!)

Sprinkle some onto grass verges to prevent dogs fowling the area. They hate the smell!;):)
