Did You Know: White Vinegar

What kills Exterior Mold and Mildew oon Wood Sidining

equal parts of white vinegar and table salt (say, 1/2 cup of each) will restore
copper to its original briteness, but the item it is used on must be washed
with soap and water after the application, as the vinegar is acidic.

How do I get hair dye out of my carpet? It is a natural dye.

Hey Carter, ok, I am going to put your white vinegar solution to the test. I have a pedestal real oak dining room table. My cat started a year or so ago, scratching the base legs of that table, and now my husband says we should just get a new table set. This was the first table I ever bought at 18, by saving every extra penny I had, and at the cost of $600.00 , back in 1970's, that was real expensive back then, but I was so proud of me, for making my first large furniture purchase. The scratched legs could probably use some wood filler, (if there is such a thing), to bulk it up a bit. If you look close at the top, you can even make out Math problems and just all around school work, from my 4 kids, using it for homework. So I would really like to save it, as they don't make that kind of all real wooden tables anymore. I need new chairs around it, someday. I would also like to redo the top of that same table, but that would have to be at a much later date, as I am 100% disabled now, and just cannot do all the things I use to do. I feel like wasted space around here, most things are just over the top for me. So wish me luck, and if you have any other suggestions, I am all ears! Thank you for all your ideas on "how to" projects. Have a great day. ;-)
P.S. I will let you know how it works out.

Please don't have a cat if you can'y deal with claws. Declawing causes lasting nerve damage and is very painful for a cat. How would you like to have your nails removed ?

Great idea's for cleaning,weeding ,mowing ect...... Thank you

"IF" white vinegar keeps cats off the furniture, will it do the SAME....."IF" I were to spray it on my hedges? ( I do NOT want to kill the hedges, so I thought I'd better ask first.) My neighborhood felines LOVE urinating in/on my bushes/hedges. THANKS for your advice RE:this request AND for other useful information that you and the other PROS have posted & shared with us. You ALL do GOOD! Bless youens! ~~ Daveen

IF IT'S THE SMELL OF THE VINEGAR, THEN SATURATE A CLOTH OR TOWEL OF PURE VINEGAR, HOW OUTIDE TO DRIP DRY. WHEN IT'S DRY, IT SHOULD RETAIN THE VINEGARY SMELL. PUT THE DRY TOWEL ON THE FURNITURE. CATS WILL SMELL IT, STAY OFF. ALSO, CUT A LENGTH OF CHICKEN WIRE THE SIZE OF THE FURNITURE TOP, SECURE ALL THE ENDS WITH FABRIC, SO WON'T SNAG, AND JUST LAY THE CHICK.WIRE ON TOP OF WHATEVER YOU DON'T WANT CATS ON. YOU CAN QUICKLY PICK IT UP AND THROW OUT ON PORCH OR CLOSET IF COMPANY COMING.

So, the vinegar does NOT help the cats from scratching on the couch? And it will stain my couch as well? I haven't tried it yet. I have one cat that's very old and a very new couch. My other cats are de clawed but since my old cat is 18-19yrs old and blind I see no point in de clawing him. He's very weak and just uses his claws to pull himself up onto the couch. But the material of the couch is very prone to this. Any suggestions? Also, Northwoods a long with Nature's Miracles will help with the cats spraying. All my cats are spayed/neutered but I've tried this in the past. It gets rid of the existing odor. Once they spray once it's time to get them neutered! Usually happens when they're about 6 months old.

Speaking for myself, I like my cats feeling comfortable anywhere in the house with the exception of the dinner table. If I can use the sofa, so can they. The sleep on the bed, too. They're part of the family.
