random tips

Most clothing comes out just as clean when washed in cold water as it does in warm or hot.


Keep your thermostate at 65 degrees not only will you get sick less, your heat bills will drop tremendously, and it sounds cold but your body adapts.


Have a meatless dinner 3 x per week..whats wrong w spagetti and no meat just tomato sauce,,nothing except its about 60% cheaper.

Put a cup of white vinegar in the rinse cycle.  The acid helps take out the soap residue that may be causing your itchiness.  This may fall under too much info but I have to do this with my socks and underwear or I'll be sorry all day long.  

Vinegar is also great for a Sunburn.  You can apply directly to the sun burn with a cloth or cotton ball or you can add it to a cool bath.  If adding in to the bath try a few tea bags too.  The tea helps sooth the skin.

I just bought a book about cleaning your home using only lemons and lemon juice, baking soda, vinegar, and water.  Nothing else.

I'll see if I can write out some of the uses.

I use white vinegar for other things, like windows, and floors. This helps bring the shine back in your floors for sure.

I'll have to try the vinegar in the whites.

1 cup White Vinegar in the rinse cycle of your whites and towels will take all the residue out and leave them whiter/fluffier.  It also takes the little boy smell out of kids clothes.
