9 Non-Edible Ways to Use Foods Around Your House

Ready to clean your house a little but don't want to buy any new cleaning products? Well, chances are you can still do have all the things you need at home already -just head into your kitchen and grab some of the foods listed in our newest Homes and Hues article showing you how to use foods for other household purposes.

From nuts to condiments, it's amazing just how functional our everyday foods are. So if you're ready to get your house clean while making yourself a little snack, don't miss this great new Homes and Hues article: 9 Surprising Household Uses for Everyday Foods

I feel like half or more of the food based cleaning tips I've ever come across might work, but don't necessarily work better than something else cheaper, easier and cleaner. A lot of the time it seems like some things work well because you just need something slightly acidic or something with a bit of alcohol in it. In those cases you can just use plain vinegar or grain alcohol, and not worry about leaving behind residues of sugar, tannins, and other gratuitous components. Sometimes even just water works as well.

It is not that such things don't work, it is just that no one does much comparison to other simpler options. Seems like a fertile ground for science fair projects for young students who could learn why control cases are useful.

I doubt I will invest in a bottle of vodka to do any sort of cleaning.
