and you can keep the leftover vinegar for whenever your sink gets too plugged upped

just boil some water

dump a healthy load of baking soda into your drain

pour the vinegar in

then dump in the boiling water

i've had to do more than one kettle

i've even tried unbending a wire coat hanger and poking it down the drain to dislodge the plug

I've heard that boiling a boil of vinegar in the microwave will loosen up all the yuck on the walls so that they can be easily wiped off. Anyone tried that?
Vinegar is my go-to cleaner - in place of windex, fabric softener, and drain cleaner.

I've used a bowl of lemon juice, either fresh or the real lemon bottle, and zpped it for about 1 or 2 minutes and then let it sit for awhile, and wiped it off . . . I believe it helps.

I've had welders tell me that they use vinegar for fabric softener on their workclothes because it is not flammable and whatever is in the dryer sheets is.

I use vinegar in my vegetable and fruit water wash. Just dump some in. I was told it killed "bugs" on the fruit and veggies (bacteria, etc.).
