Vinegar, who knew?


I learned something new about Vinegar today in an article I was reading.  Apparently the properties that make up vinegar have created an acid level within the product that will kill germs and disinfect most surfaces, and it will neutralize and eliminate most odors.

Vineger can be mixed with water and used as a cleaner on glass, tile, and ceramic surfaces, and it can keep kitchen counters, sinks, and disposals looking and smelling fresh. It can reduce lime and calcium build-up in appliances like coffeemakers and tea kettles, and adding a splash to laundry can help brighten fabric colors.

This is what really got my attention. We have a 15 week old puppy that still has accidents and always in the same spot.  I have tried every product under the sun to remove this smell and nothing seemed to work.  Then within this article it stated that vinegar can eliminate pet urine odor.  So with some trepidation I did as the article recommend.  I diluted 1 cup of vinegar with 3 cups of water and sprayed  the area with this mixture, the vinegar actually absorbed the odor! The article also suggested putting a small bowl with vinegar in the room to help eliminate the odor in the air. Then I thought this would work great for that stinking diaper pale we all keep in the baby room or bathroom.
