vinegar, more than just salad dressing

this inexpensive kitchen staple can multitask in any room of the house. here are a couple of my favorite eco friendly ways to use it.

- clean your steam iron

fill the water tank with white vinegar. turn the iron to the steam setting +  a soft towel. repeat the process with water, then thoroughly rinse out the inside of your iron.

- clean your coffee maker

once a month fill the reservoir with half white vinegar + halftap water. run through the brew cycle then rinse thoroughly with two cycles of cold water.
