So true. I don't generally use white vinegar for cooking, but I do use it to clean a lot of things, including countertops and laundry! Love the stuff. Thanks for the link! There are quite a few items listed that I haven't used vinegar for. Now I know. As for the gnats, heck, I'll just try a bowl of white one week, and apple cider the next by way of an experiment. I'd give the little stinkers fancy balsamic if that's what it took! :D
