Love the lego hack - will have to remember that one when I have kids someday! My mom and I tried the Keurig vinegar hack this Summer and oh man...I was tasting vinegar in my coffee for days! I even cleaned it out like you said and went through many rounds and it still had that awful taste! It does get it clean though for sure! Just a tedious task as it can take so long!

when cleaning out keurig with vinegar after a few rinses add baking soda to a cup if it fizzes run a few more through. keep doing this until it stops fizzing. also I find that washing all parts and letting air dry out of the machine makes a big difference. but do this after all the rinses with water

Then just scrubing the microwave with sponge. It's all fresh and clean. If there is something dirty left i dip the sponge into the lemon water and clean that again. You also can use the slices of the lemon, but be careful- they would be hot! Thank you for the freat ideas! It was really usefull for me!

These are great ways to clean. My mom taught me all these things growing up. She has always been into different cheaper ways of doing the same job. Another great idea is after you use your dryer sheet. Use it to clean/dust your tv/computer screens gently. Picks up the dust perfectly. I also learned that instead of buying a bunch of chemical air fresheners for the car, Soak a rag in fabric softener and let dry. Place in a ziplock bag with holes all over and place under the seat in the car. Keeps fresh for a month and when your done just throw in the wash.

Cleaning a keurig: after a few cycles of water put some baking soda in the cup if it fizzes you know you need to keep running water through as there is still vinegar in there. Keeping sprinkling vinegar until it does not fizz.
@roomforapony19 жыл бұрын
The essential oil cleaning is more effective if when wiping the surface you do not rewipe any area with the picked up surface material thus redepositing it on the surface from your cleaning cloth. Using a z pattern from side to side and dropping down before the next swipe will allow you to avoid re-contamination of the areas.

Love the Lego idea. Just a word about the vinegar spray cleaner. It's great, but DON'T use it on your countertops if they are granite - it causes damage. Also, I've cleaned my microwave and coffee maker with vinegar for years and you don't need nearly that much. Just a half cup of each in the microwave, and you can use a half and half dilution in the coffee maker as well - straight vinegar takes too long to rinse it all out. Love your presentation and the video quality.

I got this idea from another person on KZbin. I actually bought bottles of red wine vinegar at the Dollar Tree. I also bought three plastic bottles as well as three bottle coozies with zippers. I put the red wine into a different bottle I had for salads. I washed the glass bottles out really well, let them air dry and then put the glass bottles inside the coozies. I use Young Living's Thieves Cleaner and vinegar and another of their essential oils. I just put the top from the plastic bottle on it and close it up. The coozies keep the essential oils in the dark, the glass keeps them longer and the coozies also keep the bottles from breaking.
