    I have a nice little front yard perfect for a lawn but its all clover. There are some patches on really fast growing, ugly grass. Well, at least clover is green.

    I use vinegar to clean the odor out of my top loading washing machine. When i moved into the house it reeked. I told my roommates that my clothes smelled after using it and i couldn't stand it. They all said I was crazy. It was the liquid softener that had built up and... basically festered. disgusting.

    I also use vinegar to clean my coffee machine. But yes, my entire house then smells of boiling hot vinegar.

    I remember my mom making me clean all our storm windows with vinegar. Fun. Thanks mom.

    And will you come help me with a midnight raid on a neighbors' yard?

    I've discovered that you can only eat so many dandelions. Also, they are not as bad as blackberries, which are not as bad as English Holly and English Ivy...

    I'm going to try to take a musty smell out of an antique dresser i just bought by painting the inside unfinished wood with vinegar... wish me luck.

    So true!

    And every time we see english ivy on our bike rides, my husband suggests we buy it to cover this one area of our yard! I keep telling him it's no longer sold in Oregon, but he won't listen to me.

    Ah, the smell of vinegar on a hot summer day! My grandmother used to have me clean her windows with newspaper and vinegar. As an adult I buy Windex, and just feel wasteful

    Thumbs up It kills hairy galinsoga!

    The weed that won't die ... is DEAD.

    Thank you for reminding me about vinegar! I now have a pail full in my garage. Weeds go in and they don't come out.
