Both vinegar and apple cider vinegar, although not always interchangeable, are two products that can work wonders inside and outside your home. Being that they're all-natural, vinegar and apple cider vinegar are free from harsh chemicals or harmful toxins — and hence, can effectively clean, sanitize, deodorize, and disinfect all at once! Here's a compiled list of some life-changing hacks using vinegar, or apple cider vinegar.

Revive Those Towels

Towels lose their softness and fluffiness after being used over and over again. That's when they start looking dingy and rough - and they aren't exactly the most comfortable to dry yourself off with after a warm shower.

But, there's a little trick to save them. Pull out a bottle of vinegar and include half a cup in your next wash cycle in the washing machine. The vinegar will magically revitalize your towels - making them fluffy, soft, and inviting once again.

Pesky Fruit Flies

Fruit flies are unwelcome in any household. But, if you have a little apple cider vinegar, you can say goodbye to these pesky critters flying around your kitchen all the time.

Pour some apple cider vinegar into a bowl. Add a few drops of dish soap and place the bowl in a place that's infested with the flies. Attracted to the scent, these pests will gather around and eventually drown

Dish it Out

Vinegar is actually a much simpler - and all-natural - way to clean your dishes, without having to use any of those harsh dishwashing tablets. Try running a cycle on your dishwasher, using a bit of vinegar. You may find that it leaves your dishes even cleaner than before!

Not only that, though. Vinegar can keep your actual dishwasher sparkly clean, too! Every few months, pour vinegar in a cup or dish and run a short cycle with the dishwasher empty. It will clear out all the built-up soap scums in your machine, ensuring peak efficiency next time.

Clean & Unclog Garbage Disposal

Sometimes, you need to get your hands dirty - but it certainly doesn't have to be from cleaning out the food bits trapped inside your garbage disposal. Thankfully, vinegar can be your savior in cleaning and unclogging that pesky disposal of yours!

Simply sprinkle about a half-cup of baking soda into the disposal, followed by a cup of white or apple cider vinegar. You can thank us later...
