Though baking soda and regular white vinegar usually get the praise for being the most helpful and frugal household products, apple cider vinegar is also sort of a miracle substance. Personally, it helped me to get over a horrible cold just last fall when nothing else would work (I was told to gargle with it and swallow twice a day, and I definitely saw an improvement in my symptoms after a day or two). Take a look at some other ways that apple cider vinegar can come to your aid around the house, courtesy of care2:

• Facial Toner: since apple cider vinegar can help regulate the pH of your skin, you can dilute it with 2 parts water and spread it over your face with a cotton ball. It will act as a toner for your face at night after washing and/or in the morning before you apply moisturizer. The vinegar can also lighten age spots.
• Remove Stains on Teeth: rub teeth directly with apple cider vinegar to help remove stains.
• Aftershave: mix equal parts apple cider vinegar and water to make an aftershave blend.
• Weight-Loss: add 2 tsp of apple cider vinegar to 16 oz. of water and sip throughout the day. This will help with daily weight and pH balance maintenance.
