The many benefits of vinegar

John 19:29

A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips.

Vinegar has been around forever, and like hydrogen peroxide, has many uses. Vinegar is an acid liquid. It is used in many foods, and has many medical uses.

As a professional in the cleaning industry, I use hydrogen peroxide for most tasks, I use vinegar mostly on wood, and on floors. I don't much care for the smell of vinegar! Kinda smells like dirty feet! But, it does have alot of cleaning benefits. We had a problem a while back with stains on a carpet that just kept coming back. I talked with the carpet manufacturer, and he told me to use 50% vinegar and 50% water on them. I was amazed! The carpet looked brand new!

Vinegar will also get rid of calcium deposits around sink fixtures. It truly is a wonderful environmentally friendly household product.
