I use a half water half vinegar solution to clean practically everything, if it needs an extra scrub i use some baking soda, anyone else do this?

I do!

When I got divorced I could no longer afford the $50 weekly Walmart trip so I started using a spray bottle with a vinegar/water solution and another with bleach and water.

Another mommysaver suggested putting a few drops of tea Tree Oil or any other concentrated scent to the vinegar solution.... I keep forgetting to try it.

I use it a lot! I use it in the tub, on the floors, windows, to clean the dishwasher- it's almost a "good for anything" cleaner! I pour baking soda on the tub and then spray vinegar over it. I let it sit for a minute or two, then i scrub it. I also use it on my sinks, counters like that too.

I use the same trick for my bath too!! It actually feels and looks cleaner than before when i used to use clorox powder!

Totally gonna try this!! My tub NEVER looks clean, and it drives me nuts!! So far the only thing that has worked is a magic eraser and I really had to scrub and scrub to get it clean. It was a brand new eraser and it fell apart completely when I was done. ROFL

And vinegar is SO cheap, I pay less than $3 a bottle and I buy the gallon size. It works great for my everyday cleaning.

does anyone know if I can use it instead of jet dry in my dishwasher? I thought I saw someone post something about that.

my mom does this. she also uses it to clean her coffee maker - runs the amount of vinegar through that's equal to the water she puts through (without the coffee grounds of course). cleans it really well

I have just started using it. I found that my cleaning cabinet was overcrowded with over priced cleaners. I can take that money saved and stock up on toilet paper!

tea tree oil is usually in the aromatherapy or medications area.

I use it in our dishwasher, i got sick of paying for jet dry, it works great
