I own a Computer Repair/ Web Design/ Internet Marketing business and when we have computers in the shop, I use it on a super soft cloth to clean laptop screens and bodies. You can't just spray it on monitors, but if you spray the cloth and then use the other end to dry, it works great without damaging the screen.<br />Also, when cleaning large places (shower walls, windows, even walls and ceiling fans) I use a car squeegee to scrub and remove the moisture. Works great!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00243640060948737369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-29227180201364828982013-01-02T01:53:52.046-06:002013-01-02T01:53:52.046-06:00It is great to see this product !It is great to see this product !ecashhttp://cashinbanner.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-54711946252939287362012-10-16T19:34:10.638-05:002012-10-16T19:34:10.638-05:00Fabric softener.

So, for...My husband is allergic to fabric softener. So, for years I didn't use any in his clothes, but hated the way they felt coming out of the dryer. Could not use any on the towels either and really dislike that "hard, crispy" feeling. I use white vinegar in the last rinse cycle(my washer has a setting for an extra rinse and the cuplike thing in the middle). It is a way for me to soften the clothes, remove soap residue an make the laundry smell good.Pennylainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032696805914774094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-23284656076279589352012-09-27T08:29:01.353-05:002012-09-27T08:29:01.353-05:00very good information,useful to everyone;thanks a ...very good information,useful to everyone;thanks a lot for the information.wilfredmanuelwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497447791659600741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-74009760625397333072012-09-27T07:48:17.837-05:002012-09-27T07:48:17.837-05:00This isn't a post about cleaning with vinegar,...This isn't a post about cleaning with vinegar, but I've used it to treat warts. It works. Just soak a cotton ball or a bandage in vinegar and let it stay on overnight (it may take longer for some to see results--just keep putting the vinegar on it). After a day or so the wart will start to turn black (it was overnight for my son and daughter, but I had to apply it for several nights to work on the one on my foot which by the way...was very painful, but the pain was gone within a day or two!!)--After the wart turns black, it's usually very small--it shrinks as well. The at some point--a few days it will just fall out and leave a small but not painful hole in the skin where it used to be--I've been telling everyone about this because it's so easy and not painful at all...plus it's CHEAP!!

Yes, to cleaning - I also use it as a fabric softener - just pour it into the place for softener. One tip with doing this is to use only half the amount of detergent. I have found that using a full cap of detergent leaves clothes too stiff and scratchy (again, marketing to get us to use more). Thanks for sharing!

It's also a great foot soak for soft feet (helps with athlete's foot and nail fungus too). We also use it in our steam cleaner after a run with our homemade steam cleaning solution (it cleans the steam cleaner, gets rid of any soap residue that might be left behind and makes the carpet softer too all - at the same time!) We'll definitely have to check out this vinegar with the higher acidity. Great post!! <br /><br />Michele xoxoThe homesteadingcottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05699061699469248663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-23873007568757817722012-09-24T01:21:51.780-05:002012-09-24T01:21:51.780-05:00Wow.
