Household Usage
Vinegars are a form of acetic acid and are commonly used in many households. People use it in food preparation as an ingredient (eg: vinaigrettes, marinades, salad dressings, etc). Sometimes, people use it for cleaning purposes as it does not leave behind harmful residue. Some people use it for gardening as a weed killer. However, it does not kill the weed roots so the weed is still able to grow.
