My mom gave me two jugs of Apple Cidar Vinegar. What can you do with it? Is there some kind of cleaning product that I can make with it? Is it interchangable with White Vinegar? I was using White Vinegar in the making of our fabric softener. I'd like to know this stuff because then these jugs aren't going to waste.

studies have hinted that apple cider vinegar could help with several conditions, such as diabetes and obesity. 1. Hair rinse: Apple cider vinegar gets rid of residue build-up on hair, leaving it soft and shiny. Mix 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar with 1 quart water and use as a final rinse after shampooing. 2. Stain remover: If your hands are stained from chopping berries, dab some straight apple cider vinegar on the stains and they’ll disappear like magic. 3. Tired, swollen hands or feet: Rub a little apple cider vinegar on tired, sore, or swollen hands or feet and feel the soothing difference. 4. Overnight facial: Get rid of blemishes and make your skin more youthful by patting apple cider vinegar on your face before bed. You’ll have softer, smoother skin in the morning! 5. Sunburn bath: If you’ve been singed by the sun, find soothing relief by adding a cupful of apple cider vinegar to your bath and soaking for 10 minutes. 6. Topical skin burns: Apply ice-cold apple cider vinegar to prevent blistering. 7. Lightening age spots: Dab areas with straight apple cider vinegar and leave on overnight. 8. Dandruff fighter: Mix 1 part apple cider vinegar to 3 parts warm water to balance scalp pH and control dandruff. You can also apply undiluted vinegar to the scalp. Allow it to penetrate, then shampoo with a mild shampoo. http://www.care2.com/greenliving/apple-cider-vinegar-kitchen-cupboard.html

Would this work if I used it in my washer? I make my own fabric softener, and I'm wondering if this will work in the place of white vinegar.

Only use White vinegar for Fabric softener. Apple Cider Vinegar might stain your clothes. According to this article. http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/blog/?p=72 Hope that helps.
