Thanks for the great tips! I will be using it on my windshield wipers tomorrow!!!
I'll have to try vinegar on my windows! Thanks for the tips.
Those are awesome tips. I will definitely be using some vinegar next time I'm cleaning my car. Need to get rid of the dusty look on the inside of the glass and some water stains in the back of the carpet. My car was also a smoker's before my dad got it, so it was never rid of that smell.
Frost free windows. Now that is a tip I can use since it is really cold here right now. Thanks a bunch.
I love vinegar! It has so many uses! Thanks for the new ideas...
You are very welcome!
You are welcome! Hope it is successful. :)
Who knew vinegar could do so much! Hope your car is as good as new!
Hope it works!! You are welcome :)
Can't wait to hear if it works!
Great tips, I've been looking for a way to clean that hazy windscreen :)
We use vinegar to clean the house. It works like a charm. Smells like S**T or better said vinegar but it works like a charm
My problem with cleaning with vinegar is the 2 hours it takes for the smell to leave. It's one hell of a cleaning agent but lord have mercy the smell is unbearable.
It never ceases to amaze me the hundreds of uses that vinegar has - what an incredible product! As I look outside my window, however, the amount of snow coming down can't be handled by vinegar...unfortunately!
I love how vinegar just works on everything :) I don't even mind the smell!
Vinegar is truly a wonderfully cheap fix for many things. I have gotten use to the smell :)
Yep, vinegar is definitely something else!
The smell does take some getting use to that's for sure!
Yes, it does have a strong odor, but works oh so well!
Hope it works for you!
