If you want to make some steps toward a more natural, chemical-free household, a good place to start is with the cleaning products you use. Simple white vinegar makes a great replacement for many of your most frequently used cleaners and beauty products, and it’s completely natural. Check out these uncommon uses for white vinegar!

1. Static Remover. To remove static cling from your clothing, add 1/2 cup of white vinegar to your washing machine along with your usual detergent. The acid in the vinegar will work against the static.
2. Sweat Stain Remover. If your white t-shirts or gym socks are riddled with unpleasant sweat stains, don’t throw them away quite yet. Soak them overnight in a solution of one cup white vinegar and boiling water, and rinse them out the next morning to find your clothes clean and bright.
3. Teeth Whitener. Brush your teeth once a week with white vinegar, and you’ll be left with pearly whites in just a few applications.
