White vinegar cleans shower doors – Grab a spray bottle and fill it with equal parts of grease-fighting dish soap and white vinegar. Spray your glass doors, and rinse it with warm water after 20 to 30 minutes. Dry the surface with a microfiber cloth.
Use White vinegar as a General Cleaner – Mix four cups of white vinegar with four cups of water and add one tablespoon of dishwashing detergent. Pour the solution into a spray bottle and spray dirty surfaces as needed.
White Vinegar & Baking Soda Fights Hard water Stains – Pour 0.5 cup of baking soda into a bowl and add 0.25 cup white vinegar until making a paste. Apply it to the shower doors, rub the paste with a cloth, let it work, and rinse it after about 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse all paste thoroughly with warm water and dry the glass with a microfiber cloth. Use this combination as an excellent solution against hard water stains.
Ammonia for Glass & Window Cleaning: Pour ammonia and water in a ratio of 1 to 3 into a spray bottle. Spray it over the soap scum surface and let it sit a half an hour. Try to loosen dirt with a coarse scrub brush while it is still wet. Rinse the glass until removing all the ammonia and dry it with a microfiber cloth. Don’t forget to open the window or turn on ventilation since the ammonia odor is awful and strong. Plus, wear rubber gloves to protect your hands.

PET TIPS:

DIGESTION:
Lemon Juice improves digestion. Squeeze the juice from one whole fresh lemon into a cup of hot water and sip slowly. The hot water will help to flush out your system, and the lemon helps break down food, easing the work of the stomach acids.
Baking soda is used to treat heartburn. Dissolve a teaspoon of baking soda into 8 ounces of water and drink it, it can neutralize stomach acid and temporarily alleviate heartburn caused by acid reflux.
White Vinegar will help an upset stomach – mix one cup of warm water with one table spoon apple cider vinegar and one table spoon of honey.
Laxative – Castor Oil is used as a laxative. Castor oil works very quickly. You should see results within two to six hours after taking it. Because castor oil works so fast, it’s not a good idea to take it before bedtime, as you might do with other laxatives. Add three tablespoon of medicinal/food grade castor oil to a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, mix and drink up fast. Wait for half an hour. Like any stimulant laxative, castor oil shouldn’t be taken in the long term
LAUNDRY:
Apple Cider Vinegar Deodorizes Laundry. Also Pure baking soda is an effective alternative for commercial laundry detergent.
Three-quarters of a cup of baking soda cleans a full load of laundry. This can be a costly alternative, so it is best used as a temporary substitute until you purchase your regular detergent.
For a long-term substitution, you can easily make a homemade laundry detergent with baking soda, a bar of soap and water.
Melt bar soap in a pan with just enough boiling water to cover. Stir until the soap is completely melted. In large pail or bucket, pour in two gallons of hot water. Add the melted soap. Add the baking soda, and stir well. Use 1/2 cup per load, or more for oversized or very soiled loads of laundry.
