[Housework hack] How to use vinegar whose expiration date has expired

If I bought a large size because it was a good deal, I didn't have much chance to use it and the expiration date of vinegar had expired ... I think there are many people who have such experience. I'm worried about it, but I'm reluctant to just throw it away.


So, this time, I would like to introduce 5 ways to use vinegar that is useful for daily life, which was taught by Tamanoi Vinegar, which develops vinegar products such as "Honey Black Vinegar Diet".

1. Safe sterilization of cutting boards and towels

Rinse the cooking utensils thoroughly with water, add heat such as boiling or boiling water, and then wipe with vinegar or soak in vinegar to improve the bactericidal effect. You can also sterilize the attached bacteria by soaking vegetables and fruits in vinegar diluted 5 to 20 times for 10 to 15 minutes.



2. Repel the unpleasant odor of kitchen waste

Dilute vinegar 5 times with water and spray on kitchen waste. It suppresses the growth of various germs and can cut the unpleasant odor of kitchen waste.


3. Lively foliage plants and cut flowers

The bactericidal effect of vinegar can also prevent the growth of mold and viruses that cause plant diseases. If you add a cut of fresh flowers to vinegar diluted 60 times with water, the water will be better and it will last longer.


Also, spraying the same on the leaves of foliage plants will make the leaves shiny. Two birds with one stone that also protect against pests.


4. Measures against athlete's foot & foot odor

It has been reported that vinegar kills mold (ringworm) that causes athlete's foot. Dilute the vinegar 3 to 10 times with hot water at 40 degrees Celsius and soak your feet for about 20 minutes for 2 weeks.


5. For removing stubborn stickers

Cover the entire sticker with kitchen paper soaked with vinegar. After it has soaked in enough, it will come off if you leave it for a while and peel it off.


Vinegar has many places to play an active part besides cooking. Not limited to the expiration date, it seems that it will lead to quick use by using it on a regular basis. * All images in the article are images.
