1. A soft cloth and pure vinegar are enough to polish the chrome of a car or motorcycle.
2. Vinegar can remove the smell of urine from fabric, clothing and carpets that have been in contact with your pets
3. To remove unpleasant odors and persistent grease from the dishes, just wash them by adding a tablespoon of vinegar to your usual detergent
4. To clean the microwave just boil a large cup filled halfway with water and the remaining half with vinegar, the condensation that forms on the walls helps dissolving food residues and neutralize odors.
