Five Handy uses for Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is great for salad dressing, but it has some other pretty incredible uses.

Clean Windows

A 50:50 solution of apple cider vinegar and water mixed in a spray bottle can help clean windows and give them a natural shine. Use a lint-free cloth or the old newspaper trick to make sure your windows have a streak-free look that's free of grime and lint.

Soothe Bug Bites

Most people reach for the calamine lotion when they get bug bites. While calamine lotion may be effective, there could be a cheaper alternative that you've already got in your pantry. Apple cider vinegar, which is a natural antiseptic, can help soothe itchy bug bites in just seconds. (Don't worry the smell will go away after a few seconds too.)

Wart Remover

To get rid of an unsightly wart, soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and then fasten it over the wart with a Band-Aid overnight. Repeat the treatment until the wart dries and falls off.

Help Joint Pain

Apple cider vinegar, which is a natural anti-inflammatory, may be able to reduce joint pain in some people. To use apple cider vinegar for joint pain, most recommend mixing a tablespoon or two with a glass of water and drinking it once or twice per day.
