Cleaning stuff

I thought I would start something on cleaning supplies as I found a thread on Daily Paul for vinegar as a cleaning agent. Here is the link. Vinegar If anyone else has any thoughts please post it here.

Here is a website that I go to for advice on cleaning and gardening. It's not my only site but I love the dollar saving aspect of it. http://www.getdollarsavvy.com/

Vinegar and salt make a good kitchen scrub.

I'm going to have to try this one. I think I should probably scrub my sink out again since slimy stuff is appearing in the drains. I haven't been because I ran out of my other scrub stuff.

We could always use e_golds liver. :D

Of course Lisa, it's got lots of holes and little calcified appendages. Great for scrubbing!

That's his heart. See the scars from the stiletto stomping on it?

awesome!

this would make a great front page link.

i LOVE vinegar. i also LOVE baking soda.

baking soda ROCKS for cleaning bathtubs and sinks.

i just put some on a damp scrubbie and it works wonderfully. if you get the baking soda too wet, it doesn't work.

I also found a great drain unclogger using baking soda. Pour 1 cup baking soda and 1 cup salt down the drain, then follow with a kettle full of boiling water. It worked like a charm for our drain that has been slow running since we moved in.

Aya Thank you so much

We have a tub drain that starts running slow every year or so, (think conditioner, shampoo, shower cleaner)and no BIG expulsion of water down the drain, all showers.

I did this yesterday and already there is a 50% improvement. I am going to do it again next week.

Usually this meant my husband and his brother taking a giant router machine and snaking through from the cleanout. = Giant mess.

Thank you, thank you.

You are welcome. I found it on a dollar-saver website but I can't remember the name off hand. It had some really nice tips on it though.
