Cleaning with Vinegar
by sabrina rocca
Cleaning the computer and other office equipment. Computer,
printer, fax and other office equipment will work better if
you keep them clean and regularly remove dust. Before you
start cleaning, see whether the devices are disconnected
from the network. In a bucket, mix vinegar and water in
equal parts. Dampen a clean cloth in the solution. Ensure
not to use a sprayer; the liquid should not get into the
devices. Squeeze the cloth and start to wipe. Prepare a few
cotton sticks to get the dirt in hard to reach places (like
around the keys of your keyboard).
Cleaning blinds. You can greatly facilitate your work, if
you put on a white cotton glove. Sink your hand into the
solution of equal parts of vinegar and hot water and rub
every bar on both sides. This is a amazingly easy and
effective method of cleaning blinds! Prepare a bucket of
clean water to wash the mud off the gloves on occasion.
Cleaning and deodorizing the drain. The combination of
vinegar and baking soda is one of the most effecient ways of
eliminating obstruction and deodorizing drainpipes. In
addition, this tool does not make negative effect on the
pipes (and your wallet).
Cleaning mold. If you want to get rid of stains left by
mold, find a bottle of white vinegar. You can safely use
this without worrying about the additional ventilation. To
remove substantial concentrations of mold, you need raw
vinegar. For minor spots vinegar is dissolved in water. To
prevent the formation of mold on rugs and carpets, clean
them with white vinegar.
Adorable silver. To repair the original glossy character
of silver tableware, and silver bracelets, rings and other
jewellery, immerse them for 2-3 hours in a mixture of 100 ml
of white vinegar and 2 table spoons of baking soda. Then
wash with cold water and thoroughly dry utilizing a soft
cloth.
Polishing brass and copper. To furbish up the missing
splendor of soft brass, bronze and copper items, take the
paste made of equal parts of white vinegar and salt or
vinegar, and baking soda (wait until it stops hissing). Take
a clean, soft cloth or paper towel and rub the items until
they sparkle. Rinse off with cold water and dry with a soft
towel.
Removing traces of ballpoint pens. Take a cloth or sponge
and wipe those marks with concentrated white vinegar. Keep
on rubbing until the traces of the paste disappear.
