22. Mix it with bicarbonate of soda for a good cleaning paste, removes burnt on grease with a little effort (and a little salt) and shines up brass wonderfully (don't use salt as it scratches the surface).

I use white vinegar as a softener and cleanser for my DD's nappies, it softens them without reducing the absorbancy, and also freshens them beautifully. Without it she would be wearing thoroughly crunchie nappies - not nice!

Has anyone said "toilet cleaner" yet?

Because I only flush once or twice a day, and with rainwater, and the area is hardwater, there was a nasty dark mark in the bowl and around the "tide mark". However hard I scrubbed it the stain wouldn't budge.

Yesterday I poured half a litre of white vinegar into the bowl and left it for a ocuple of hours. Shazzam!!! the loo is lovely and clean now.

Where do you buy white vinegar and bicarb, washing soda etc in big amounts?

I buy bicarb in 1kg boxes in Wilkos & 1kg bags of soda crystals (for laundry etc) from the Co-op. Both are from dripak, they have a website I believe, but don't know if they sell larger packs.
