Apple cider vinegar is a vinegar made from crushed apples that contain acetic acid. The main difference between apple cider vinegar and cleaning vinegar is the smell – apple cider vinegar makes it smell more pleasant.
Multipurpose kitchen cleaner
If you already use vinegar to clean your surfaces, try using apple cider vinegar.
Spray diluted apple cider vinegar on their surfaces to get rid of dirt, grease, mineral deposits and even some bacteria.
This can work on your counters, stove shelves, refrigerator, microwave, and just about anywhere else in your kitchen.
Add some essential oils if the smell bothers you.

Mold
Mold is often found in your bathroom – especially in bathtubs and shower curtains.
Use undiluted apple cider vinegar to get rid of mold.
Pour a few cups of LCA into the tub and fill it with hot water.
Leave on for four hours to remove the stains in the bathtub, then drain and rinse with boiling water.
To get rid of mold on towels or shower curtains, simply add a cup of LCA to a warm cycle and wash as normal.
Stained cutlery
Any tarnished silver can be polished with apple cider vinegar.
Simply dip your silver in half a cup of apple cider vinegar and a little baking soda.
Let it sit for a few hours and then rinse with fresh water.
Deodorize
Apple cider vinegar can neutralize bad smells.
Cook some ACV in a pan in the kitchen for an hour and let the vinegar do its job.
Alternatively, leave a bowl or two in a room or even in the refrigerator.
Stained carpet
Carpet stains are always difficult to remove, but ACV will do.
Add a few tablespoons of the product to a soft cloth and rub on the stain.
Let it dry, then wipe off the dirt and the stain will be dramatically reduced.
Clogged drain
If the drain in the bathroom or kitchen sink is starting to give off an unpleasant odor or the sink is slowly draining, use apple cider vinegar to unclog it.
Pour a few tablespoons of baking soda down the drain and then a cup of LCA.
Let the mixture boil for half an hour and wash the sink with water.
Washing machine
Add half a cup of apple cider vinegar to each wash to keep clothes soft and spotless.
This trick also removes grease, dirt that accumulates inside the machine and prevents the machines from getting bad.
Herbicide
Need to kill some weeds, but don’t want to use harsh chemicals?
Pour ACV directly into weed-prone areas in the garden to prevent unwanted growth of your flower beds.
