A New Found Love for Vinegar
The Husband has a current pash on for Vinegar. Loving it almost more than life itself he has taken to spending hours daydreaming of foodstuffs he can soak with it. I know this from a recent entry to his Facebook page. So great is his love he’s now sharing it with the world. You can imagine my pride …
I have however recently been introduced to a new use for his best beloved, and it doesn’t involve chips. 
I’ve spent far too much time this past week trying to get sticky labels off things (from birthday presents to those damn annoying stickers on the bottom of my new shoes) that I went in search of something to aid and abete me. It’s then that my love, well fondness, for vinegar developed. No longer do I have to have to spend hours chipping away at a sticky residue with my already poorly cared for nails, or desperately try to peel off a stubborn label for it to tear half way through. I even attempted the Velux window who up until yesterday was sporting the Mother of all sticky debris - the remains of the not so careful removal of their instructions six months ago.
So how does it work it’s magic ? Easy. Simply douse a cotton-wool ball in vinegar and attack your sticky nemisis, soaking in the vinegar. Leave to saturate for a minute and then rub with a dry cloth. Voila, a gunk free surface.
I’m afraid there is a downside which unsurprisingly is the smell. It goes without saying that it’s best to wipe our stinky friend away as thoroughly as you can. An open window can also help to obliterate the school canteen aroma that comes hand in hand with our new cleaning buddy. Failing that, it’s nothing a trusty Diptyque candle couldn’t sort out.
