THERE'S APPLE CIDER VINEGAR REMEDIES FOR EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE!

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR REMEDIES FOR HOUSEHOLD USE

Apple cider vinegar remedies can disinfect your home, improve your health and even be used in home beauty treatments!

Distilled white vinegar is the best choice for non-toxic cleaning as it will not stain. On the contrary it has the ability to remove stains and even hard water build up. A good rule of thumb is to use white vinegar on anything except yourself, use distilled apple cider vinegar externally on your body and use organic apple cider vinegar for medicinal internal purposes.

Vinegar is 5% acetic acid which gives it great antiseptic properties. Oraganic apple cider vinegar has many minerals (especially potassium), vitamins, enzymes, fiber and antioxidants. It's also low in fat and sodium.

OK, let's learn some environmentally friendly apple cider vinegar remedies!

If you can make the time to do this it will work faster than any expensive prescription!
