Did you know that apple cider vinegar has multiple uses in the home? From flea control to teeth whitening, ACV is one product you should not be without! Here is a list I put together of some of the best uses of ACV:
  • Scalp regulator - weather you have oily scalp, dry scalp, or even eczema on the scalp ACV can help. Apply a 50/50 mix to your scalp a few times a week (Leave on for a few minutes before shampooing) to unclog pores and relieve dandruff and destroy bacteria. Apply a mix of 1 part ACV to 3 parts water as a post shampoo rinse to balance the PH of your scalp, and regulate the scalp oil production.
  • Hair Smoother/Shinier- Add one part ACV to 3 parts water and use as a pre-shampoo step to remove product buildup, or even chlorine. Use as a post shampoo rinse to close the hair cuticle and make hair nice and shiny. You'll smell like a salad for one hour but after that it's smooth sailing.
  • Acne - make a mixture of 50/50 ACV and water and dab on face once a day for 4 weeks (Note: Acne may become a little worse before better do to the vinegar forcing hidden toxins to rise so it can kill them). Can also be used to fade age spots. Once a day add 1 teaspoon of ACV to a glass off water 2-3 times a day. You can disguise the taste with honey or mixing it in either vegetable juice or fruit juice.
  • Home Flea control - Make a 50/50 mix of ACV and water and spray on furniture, rug, and pet bedding . Fleas hate it!
  • Flea control on pets - Use as a final rinse on pets diluted with water, spray on pets in a 50/50 water/ACV mix, or add to pets drinking water: 1 teaspoon for cats, 1 tablespoon for dog. Cut in half in half if they have a small drinking bowl.Can also be used on cat and dog hot spots.
  • Teeth whitener - Mix it 50/50 ACV and water and rinse mouth daily until teeth have whitened.
  • Weight loss - Mix 2 teaspoons in 16 ounces of water and drink at least once a day to suppress appetite, burn more fat, and increase energy level.
  • Ache feet - Add a cup to warm water as a foot soak.
  • Blood pressure - Drink a mixture of 2 teaspoons of ACV to 16 ounces of water daily to lower it.
