ANOTHER GREAT USE FOR VINEGAR!

Cheryl says:


When you're ironing clothes, the easiest way to work out the wrinkles is to spray the fabric first with a mixture of vinegar and water. Take a spray bottle with 8 ounces of water mixed with 1 to 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Spray the fabric and then iron it. The wrinkles will come right out! This works more easily than just using the steam setting on the iron or spraying with plain water. Use the vinegar and water mixture with the iron on steam setting, and you're good to go!

Vinegar? I think I'm out of it.. Can I use oil instead?

Hmm. Interesting tip, but I hope that I can get that vinegar in something smaller than a one gallon container!

Vinegar makes good pickles too. I'm terrible at ironing. I just never got the hang of it.

I was just wondering about the smell as well!

Good to know that Pammy. I'll definitely try this one then.

I just use that Downy wrinkle release stuff. Works like a dream; told my son I was going to try it on my face! He was not amused.

LOL! Let us know how that works out for ya!

As for ironing, I don't do it. Probably a great tip though for you ironers out there. If something is wrinkled I usually just throw it in the dryer for a few minutes and voila! No more wrinkles, or at least it's better than before.
