I've been doing this for 40 years. My Grandmom taught me this. I use an old Dawn squeeze bottle with a more diluted vinegar & dawn for the toilet. The squeeze bottle fits right under the the RIM perfectly and works great in hard water stains. BIG HUGS ,Anita

Glad to see KZread decided to post this! Great tip!

Great tip, and reusing the vinegar, plus putting it in a bag. Don't think I would have thought of that!

I saw them in the dollar store and the 5 Year old in me HAD to have them!

Properly working showers are a real blessing for aches and pains so thanks for posting, Bev. I use white vinegar in the "conditioner" compartment of my washing machine; I haven't used brands for years after I read what they contain. My clothes always have a lovely fresh smell.

I use vinegar to soak and then use a tooth brush to loosen gunk! Works like a charm!

Definitely trying that. Thx for the tips!

OurHalfAcreHomestead that’s very encouraging! Our water is so bad in Florida, we are forever unclogging the shower! And that sulphuric smell! 🤢

I’ll definitely try this!!

Thanks for the tip....

Thank you for the tip that works.

My friend showed me a trick that amazed me a few weeks ago. You can Also try boiling the vinegar first, in just a few minutes the result is amazing!!

How long do you let it soak?

I'm gonna do this when I get home from work tonight!!! Thanks!!!

Vinegar is good for EVERYTHING! I clean everything with vinegar.

We run vinegar thru the coffee pot regularly as our hard well water clogs it up also. Your right this video should have NEVER been demonetized.

We also use vinager and baking soda in the washing machine to soften towels, remove the odor from my husband's clothes and the dog's blankets. It is some good stuff!

It sure does Mrs V. I use only white vinegar never cleaning vinegar.

Cool 😊

Awesome video keep it up 😁

Vinegar works for me, too ! I have a another use for vinegar - but for your body. I have a horrible time with thick callouses on the bottom of my feet that can be painful to walk on. I saw this on YT one day. This guy said he heats white vinegar a little & pours it into a foot bath. Then relax & soak your feet. I usually soak mine for about an hour, if I can set still that long. Honestly-the 1st time I did it - I literally scraped the softened callous off with my finger nails ! What a relief after all these years of trying to get it off with pumice stones & that ped egg !

@@Tripinfallz , no just plain white vinegar. The callouses get so bad on the balls of my feet & the outside behind the little toes . I can hardly walk ! Just like callouses on your hands eventually they form again. Just stay on top of it. Get the vinegar as warm as is comfortable for him. I try to let them soak in the vinegar for a good hour. I was so happy when it worked the very 1st time ~ I could have cried !

Thanks Mrs V. Great tip, I have the shower setup like yours, will use your tip to clean it. I noticed the tiny ants are back; found them (2, then 2 more later) in the bathroom sink area; used straight vinegar to clean all counters, sinks, bottles. Every year in the Spring the tiny ants come back I use vinegar for cleaning and they don't like the smell. In the kitchen, I make sure all foods like honey, sugar, etc. are sealed in zip lock bags. Do you ever have problem with the tiny ants coming in your house and how did you get rid of them? Thank!s!

What is your dawn to vinegar ratio? I haven't seen the cleaning mix you're talking about.

1/2 & 1/2...I give put a 1/4 cup of it in the bottom of my dishwasher ( never straight dish soap) and it cleans my dishwasher with every load! I use it in my bathroom but squirting it all over the top of the shower stall walls so it runs down..and all over my tub, under the rim of my toilet AND my sink..walk away for 1/2 an hour and com back and rinse down..the toilet needs to be scrubbed with the brush..but you would normally do that anyway!

Either someone isn't watching the videos and they are picking on you or they are just plain dumb. I've reported offers to me from KZread to watch because it had very adult themes.
