If you have a really bad build up of soap scum in your tub, fill it with warm water and add 1 quart of white vinegar. (If you block the upper drain you can fill it fuller.) Let soak for a few hours and drain. Use baking soda on a cloth to scrub the tub and the soap scum comes right off. Add your shower curtain liner to the water, then wash with a load of towels for double duty. Clean and sparkling. |

If you use a dishwasher, white vinegar can be used in place of the Jet Dry rinse agent. Just fill the up with white vinegar.
Vinegar also makes a great fabric softener for clothes and helps remove the soap from them in the rinse water.

Vinegar can also be run through a, electric coffeemaker to remove the deposits inside it.

Thanks for the cleaning tip. I use vinegar and baking soda all over my house but did not know about this.
I also wanted to add a line about ironing. Can't seem to find the posts where I read about this, but I know that there were several comments about "nobody ironing anymore." However, I must tell you that there is now a renewed interest in ironing as a sport!!!!
It is called something like "action ironing", and people actually iron on an ironing board while doing other things like riding on a skateboard etc if you can believe it!!!!!
As a librarian, I run across these fascinating tidbits all of the time.
