Thanks for all the great tips...I'll be trying the foot soak thing!

I use it to clean all types of things in the bathroom and kitchen..keep a bottle in both places!

when placing bowls of vingar around room, wouldn't you get thos pesty "fruit flies" or knats. Some flying creature. I live in a rural area and doors are opened and opened and opened, have central air, but no matter. am going to try vinegar bowls. I use for cleaning, especially when my GD wants to help. Vinegar can't hurt her.

I use it everywhere, from laundry to sinks to cleaning just about everything, sometimes mixed with baking soda.

Kooklabelle,

Thank you for the footsie tip. And introducing this thread. I'll be on here an hour just reading all of it.

Thanks for some of these great tips. I drink vinegar with water for my arthritis and use it for floor cleaning, but never dawned on me that the solution for the stinky garbage disposal and kitchen drain problem could be solved so easily with vinegar and baking soda. I jumped right up and tried it and now I can go into the kitchen area without even wrinkling my nose. I have tried just about everything to solve this problem, everything but the right thing until now. Whoo Hoo, leave it to the quilting board ladies.

I used it to strip wallpaper. Srpayed it on too, let it soak in a bit & the paper came right off. Probably took off any leftover paste too.

Soaking your feet may feel soothing and seem smart, but it isn't necessary — and it can be dangerous. In fact, if you have dry skin on your feet, they should never be soaked. Prolonged soaking opens small cracks in your skin where germs can get in. That's how infections get started. Soaking also removes your natural skin oils. Repeatedly wetting and drying your feet can worsen dry skin problems, especially if you don't replenish lost moisture afterwards. For these reasons, soaking is not recommended. From a health point of view, the risks of soaking your feet outweigh the benefits.

If you're a diehard fan of foot baths and can't give them up, save them for when you don't have any wounds on your feet. Make sure the water isn't too hot, and don't let your feet stay submerged for too long (they shouldn't shrivel). Use a moisturizing lotion afterwards.
This is especially true for diabetics, they should keep their feet dry as much as possible and use nothing that will get in the cracks of the feet to cause and infrction. FYI
