1. Unclogging A Drain
Is your drain clogged and don’t have any drainer? Grab some vinegar and some baking soda, for about half a cup of baking soda into the drain and then a cup of vinegar. Once it stops foaming, wash it out with hot water. No more clog.
2. Removing Coffee/Tea Stains form Cups
Finish your cup of coffee (tea), only to find the cup is covered with pesky stains? Sprinkle a little baking soda onto the bottom of your stained cup, and add just moderate vinegar, and scrub.
3. Removing Adhesive Residue
Did a sticker or tape leave some sticky residue behind? Saturate the area with white vinegar and let it sit for one minute. Then, you can easily and quickly scrub the residue away .
4. Getting Rid of Awful Odors
Does your fridge smell awful? Does your trash can smell like something died in it even though it’s empty? Pour vinegar on a piece of bread and let it sock up. Then, put it in your fridge or trash can and leave it overnight. The awful odor will be no more the next day. By the way, the used coffee grounds and tea bags can also absorb odors.
5. Loosening A Rusted Screw

After drying, you will see the most of wrinkles have flattened out. Also, to avoid wrinkles, it is suggested to use laundry bags while washing clothes.
8. Making Flower Last Longer
