In Remembrance

if you do not understand - Veni, Vidi, Vinegar - it's because its a type of a play on words -
originally Roman -short version Caesar then crossed from Asia to Thracia, and set sail for Italy. In the meantime, in recognition of his overwhelming victory, he sent a simple, but powerful message back to Rome and the Senate: "VENI VIDI VICI", I came, I saw, I conquered. http://www.unrv.com/fall-republic/veni-vidi-vici.php one of my antique stand by jokes is "VENI, VIDI VELCRO", I came, I saw, I stuck around! anywho? - Wanna conquer high cleaning-product costs? The Bite - Drop the bed-sheet toga, and pick up a bottle of white vinegar. Uber-disinfecting and cheap as Hades, DIY vinegar cleaners really do the trick, so you can move onto conquering bigger things, such as, say, the Roman Empire. The Benefits Costs less than a handmade olive-leaf crown. We found a 32-ounce bottle of white vinegar at the supermarket for just over a buck; the same size bottle of all-purpose cleaner was four times that (and you'll dilute the vinegar for most purposes). Treating kids like emperors. Conventional cleaning products are responsible for about 10% of toxic-exposure calls to poison control. Not stabbing our rivers in the back. High concentrations of detergents were found in 69% of waterways in a 2002 nationwide study. Smelling better than an ancient Roman. The vinegar smell disappears when it dries; it even acts as a mild deodorizer. Personally Speaking Jen's got a family of more than 10 pets, so she'd never use synthetic pesticides in her backyard. A little straight vinegar, sprayed directly on weeds, gets rid of 'em. Wanna Try? Make sure to use white distilled vinegar - balsamic and red wine varieties will stain. All-purpose countertop and mildew cleaner: Mix vinegar and water 1:1 in a spray bottle. Fabric softener: Add 1/2 cup to the rinse cycle. Toilet bowl cleaner: Use pure vinegar to get rid of rings. Window cleaner: Mix vinegar and water 1:4 in a spray bottle. Weed killer: Use higher concentrations of vinegar (most household vinegar is 5%, so go for 10% or higher, available at hardware stores). Vinegar Tips - even more uses for vinegar. http://www.idealbite.com/
