| Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse.... I've been rinsing by little ones coats in an ACV rinse for the past few months and just love the feel of their coats. I wanted to try it because I heard it was useful for deterring fleas but the softness was something I wasn't expecting... I shampoo them and rinse well with water then I pour plenty of ACV on...I don't rinse it out.....I put about 1 1/2 c. in about a gallon of water...... When I first tried it I was really skeptical because on the comb out it wasn't easy....It felt a little tangled and rough but when it dried it was sooo soft......I didn't use anything else on the comb out because I wanted to see what the results where going to be like with just the rinse and no added conditioners or sprays .....I just love it..... Anyone else have good results with this?......

| Really? Now when you say plain vinager I'm assuming you mean white vinegar? Is that right and do you use it before you shampoo or after you have shampoo'd and conditioned or after the shampoo but before the conditioner? |

| Wow, there really is 100 uses for vinegar I do clean with vinegar and baking soda. My house does smell like vinegar for a little bit but it's not so bad once you see the mirrors glistening at you. I can only imagine how shiny those puppies coats are!

| i Haven't tried the plain I'll try that too.....My mom said her mother always rinsed her own hair in vinegar rinses and that she had shiny silky hair.....I haven't used it on my own hair I was afraid it might do something to the color since it's dyed.....

| I haven't tried that ...I used it in place of the conditioner and I didn't rinse it out.....I thought if I used a conditioner after it would somehow "cancel" out the vinegar rinse...

Here's another hair dresser trick. Add a bit of baking powder to the shampoo.....It really cleans the hair. Another trick after shampoo and before vinegar. That is if you want to take the time. Mayonaise, work it into the coat and wrap in a warm towel. Rinse and then vinegar rinse. I sometimes rinse with vinegar first, condition and then work the Mayonaise in rinse a bit, dry and use it instead of oil, before wrapping the coat. A bit more natural and no clogging of their pores.

| It's quite stinky when it's wet, but in about a hour or so the smell is about gone.....That's all I hear when I'm bathing them is, "What's that smell! What's that smell!"

| A vinegar rinse is good for all types of hair. I use it for conditioning all the time, plus it gets rid of any shampoo. It also makes a wonderful fabric softener in the laundry. |

| I've used it in the laundry also ....Sometimes the towels smell musty so I put the vinegar in the bleach dispense of the washer and it seems to work.....
