The many uses of vinegar continued…

6.  Soften hardened paint brushes by placing them in hot vinegar for several minutes, then rinsing them with warm water and a little soap. 

7.  Leather articles can be cleaned by rubbing equal parts vinegar and linseed oil into the leather, then polishing with a soft cloth.

8.  When wrapping packages for mailing, add several drops of vinegar and use for wetting gummed tape.  It will help the tape to stick better.

9.  Radiator valves can be cleaned and unclogged by boiling them in vinegar for about 5 minutes.  When cool enough to handle, slosh them around in the cooling vinegar, rinse with clear water, and dry well.  This removes accumulated particles from inside the valves.  

10.  A few drops of vinegar added to your final rinse when washing plastic curtains acts as an anti-static and cuts down on the attraction of dust.
