So T do you just throw the towels in a washing machine and add so much vinegar or let them soak in it or what?

Nothing better for cleaning fresh fruits and veggies. A cup of vinegar in a sink of water... I clean n my coffee pot with vinegar too. Every two weeks. Half a cup in the pot fill the rest with water. Run it thru. Then a pot of clean water... Beautiful.

Never thought of cleaning my fruits and veggies w/it koiguy. Thanks for that tip. I don't drink coffee............ha ha I'd rather like the taste of the vinegar myself

I like the taste of vinegar, too, but not with my coffee. I never thought of using peroxide. But, ever since I've been using bottled water in my coffee pot, I have not had to clean it for 5 years! It runs through just as fast as first pot, too. I guess bottled water has no lime or any other minerals, so nothing to clog it up. Voila!
Has anyone used one of those "Pur" water filters? My daughter says it is the best, but I wonder if it would take away the salty taste of my softened water, or if I would have to use water from the outside faucet, to get it before the softener? Thinking about trying it. She says the filters last a long time. I'm skeptical. It WOULD be more convenient, though ...

I have a pod coffee maker and it had a story on the news about bacteria in them .So wanted it really clean .

Our well water is so soft, I have not had to clean the coffee pot for that reason. I do clean it now and then to clean up the coffee debris. We don't even dry our cars, the water leaves no spots.

Down here................spots everywhere, Water has a yellow tint to it. City water.

The previous owners hooked up the water softener to EVERY outlet, even all hose bibs. I had an extra hose big added before the softener, so I could use that for the ponds. Yep, I can use the softened (artificially, not naturally like your water, Addy) water to wash my vehicles and it sheets off well.
Not too bad outside this morning .... so far ....

1 cup of vinegar, hot cycle. Then re run it with 1/2 cup baking soda and voila! Fresh smelling towels!
And I don't know why, but cleaning my coffee pot with HP makes me nervous, I'll stick with my vinegar. LOL

 

[j.w]

Thanks T. Don't think HP will hurt you. You can even gargle w/it.

It makes great mouth wash, keeps the chompers white.

 

[tbendl]

Yep, I know, just makes me feel icky thinking about it in my coffee pot. The good news is there's plenty of stuff I do that is icky to others.
Ohhh another yummy use for vinegar is on fried spaghetti!!! NOM NOM NOM. Now I'm hungry.

 

[j.w]

Yep and vinegar on spaghetti sounds like an icky to me!

 

[tbendl]

See, we are a perfect match. LOL
