Hi … Thank so for amazing vinegar tips. I’m hoping baking soda tips coming . my diy staples include vinegar .. Baking soda … Honey … Lemon juice …. Epsom salt. Not why combination but the heck. Anyway … May i ask favor & throw out suggestion for DIY projects… Use pallets to make … ?????. I have access to pallets and sizes mil crates (square & rectangle sizes) the square approx 12×12. Anyway, i want to create room you plop down in, lift your feet up & grab a book. This room in my head., has a bench with red pattern cushion, ottoman, wall / book shelf with both shelves & cubbies, a doggie/kitty bed … A gorgeous plaid rug rustic reds, a small table or shelf to hold snacks & candles music playe. In corner giant ficus with white lights in plant covering that give off a soft twinkle in sync to music. Lastly … In another corner … A hammock gently rocking to the slight breeze from ceiling fan & placed where able to rotate with the sun while wind chime whispers in the background.

good tips – here’s another:
White vinegar easily removes hard water stains, even from the toilet.
Add 1-2 cups to toilet and let it sit for 2-8 hours (depending on how bad they are!)
After the time has lapsed, scrub lightly and flush.
