3. Dip a clean compress or cotton pad into the mixture.
4. Gently dab the wound with the soaked compress.

It's also much more affordable than pharmacy antiseptics.
Apple cider vinegar is a natural disinfectant, ideal for minor cuts, abrasions, scrapes, and even infected or oozing wounds.
Its acidity creates an antibacterial environment, similar to commercial antiseptics.
Use white vinegar as an equally effective, cheaper alternative if needed.
Warning: Never use bleach – it's toxic and burns skin.
