Cleaning
Vehicles with
Vinegar...
White distilled vinegar is
not just for salads anymore! It's also an
ideal "green" household and laundry "green" cleaning product.
But don't stop there... use
it in your garage (and workshop, too). (Note: vinegar is
absolutely safe to use on tools and vehicles!)
Check out all the
different ways you can use it to clean your vehicles...
- Keep car windows frost-free overnight in
winter by coating them with a solution of 3 parts white distilled vinegar to
1 part water.
- Polish car chrome
with full-strength white distilled vinegar on a soft cloth.
- Remove unwanted decals and bumper
stickers by covering them with a cloth soaked in white distilled
vinegar, or by repeatedly spraying them with full-strength white
distilled vinegar. They should peel off in a couple of hours.
- Rid the windshield wipers of road grime
by wiping them with a white distilled vinegar-soaked cloth.
- Remove the leftover odor after a rider
has been carsick by leaving a bowl of white distilled vinegar overnight on
the floor.

of equal parts white distilled vinegar and water.

residue on car carpeting by spraying with a mixture of equal parts white

with a mixture of half white distilled vinegar and half water.

bolts and screws with white distilled vinegar to make them easier to remove.
