    For real? I think your making that up. How can that be true!?

    Edit: did not know that about vinegar? What about the smell though??

    Did you know that ants never sleep and they don't have lungs?

    Vinegar is natural and the smell dissipates quickly when using it for anything.
    In the laundry there is zero smell.

    Sorry for the side track guys.

    It is true.

    Some of my friends think I am a vinegar nutzo.

    Also, I can hardly wait to find out how the house smells after I've boiled dirty gym socks in vinegar overnight.

    You don't boil overnight.
    Bring it to a slow boil turn off heat and then let sit overnight. (I haven't done this) but is how I read the tip
    I'm telling you, once you start using vinegar you will be addicted.
    The results are instant and tangible.

    It really is great, the best way to get a grease stain out of clothes is to rub a little white vinegar onto the spot let it sit for a couple of hours and then wash. Will have to try the vinegar as a fabric softener deal.

    DYKT you can add baking soda to the vinegar as well? Just be sure to use a big pot, vinegar + baking soda =a foamy mess.

    Chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlochloride) is no less "natural" than vinegar or hydrogen peroxide.

    Chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlochloride) is no less "natural" than vinegar or hydrogen peroxide.
    Some people (like me) have issues using bleach as the chlorine is very irritating to the respiratory system. It actually gives me migraines, so I have to use vinegar and baking soda.

    Oh hey were talking about vinegar!

    I just bought some to clean the oven. It said to make a paste with the vinegar and baking soda? I never did a volcano. Am I gonna have a mess in my kitchen if i do this?

    No, it will fizz up, but you need larger quantities for it to be really messy. Sprinkle the baking soda in the oven, then slowly add vinegar, mix it up, add more vinegar if needed.

    I found the site I was looking at. The before and after pictures are what got me, plus it's cheaper than that easy off crap and it probably wont smell as bad as I seem to think that stuff smells.

    I have done the baking soda paste before, it does work, probably need more elbow grease than anything! I ended up buying one of those steam cleaner thingies...super fast!

    My head just went a full 90 degrees. I can use a steam cleaner? I've got one of them. I've got two of them. One older than me and I don't wanna touch it. The other is a $30 Bissell. I like this idea. Just stick it in there for a few minutes eh? I'ma try that, then do the paste after if necessary. I dont like this idea of climbing halfway into the stupid thing and scrubbing.
