Keep a solution of 50/50 white vinegar and water in a spray bottle
to use for cleaning windows.
From a reader: When I apply a weak bleach solution (to a counter
after handling raw chicken, or to grout to whiten it), even after
rinsing it still smells like bleach. Spraying it with the vinegar
solution does away with the bleachy smell. This also works if you
use bleach when washing fabric - try an extra rinse with a cup of
vinegar in it to get rid of the bleach smell.
Note: A reader cautioned against using vinegar with bleach because
it produces chlorine gas, so I asked about it on our chemistry
guide's forum here at About.com. He said that, while the mixture
does produce chlorine gas, using a few drops at a time (to rinse
hands or counter, as opposed to gallons) as a spot neutralizer would
cause no problem. You can read the posts yourself, if you like.
Another reader wrote this: Fill the water reservoir half way with vinegar and run the coffee maker as you normally do and then run it once full of water and the coffee maker will be spotless. (Well, cleaner anyway.)
Vinegar in drinking water is very effective in eliminating the low-
grade fevers that are present in Chronic Fatigue sufferers. It also
helps eliminate the 'thrush' coating in the mouth which is sometimes
caused by antibiotic use. Mix four tablespoons of apple cider
vinegar to a gallon of drinking water. Drink up to one gallon each
day.
Heat vinegar to boiling point. Then poor over your fixtures that
have deposits of lime. This will release or remove the deposit.
Use a cup of vinegar in two gallons of water in the diaper pail to
neutralize the urine in cloth diapers. It also helps keep them from
staining.
Keep a spray bottle of 50% vinegar, 50% water near the laundry
station. Spray it on clothing stains before tossing the clothing
into the washer (just as you would a commercial spray stain
remover).
