Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 I use vinegar to clean the " fragrance " out of my plastic molds and cups. It works great. I just let them soak in water and vinegar for a while than rinse. I love vinegar.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 I use a cup of vinegar in the last rinse of my wash. Cate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 I'm not Sage but will answer on this one. Use one lime, one lemon, one orange, 1 cinnamon stick and some whole cloves or just the citrus. Just use the zest and " dump " in the gallon of vinegar. Strain if you want but they settle to the bottom so your choice. Going to try to send the vinegar bath if this goes thru. My server and haven't been talking much the last few days.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Beth, or anyone... A lady yesterday told me that putting vinegar in yoru rinse/wash cycle will take out the permanent press in your clothing. Do you know anything about that?

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Having used it for many years, I can say that I disagree. ;-) Nothing is less or more permanent press than it was before.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Shaye, All I can say is that I have been using vinegar (a small amount0 in my rinse water for a long time and haven't noticed any difference in my perm . press clothes. If anything, my clothes are softer and have a nicer feel to them. Just think - if the commercial fabric softener can clog your dryer vent, think what it does to your clothes. JMHO.....

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Thanks Jeanine and Beth.. I actually was pretty surprized she told me that as she is one for organic and all natural as well.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yes, because you'd think she'd be wearing cottons, etc., that are organic and untreated, as well.
