1.  Spray the shower curtain weekly with a solution of 50% vinegar and 50% water to prevent mildew.

2.  Soak coffee pots and stained mugs in a vinegar and water mixture for an hour or so then wipe the stains away and wash them clean.

3.  Clear a sluggish drain by pouring a 1/2 cup of baking soda into it, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. When the bubbling stops flush the drain with hot water.  Wait five to ten minutes and flush again with cold water.

4.  Clean and Remove built-up soap residue in the dishwasher by pouring 1 cup of vinegar into the bottom of the dishwasher tub and then run it through a cycle without any dishes. 

And to make the guys happy...

5.  Renew rusty tools, screws and bolts by soaking them in full strength vinegar.  They may require several days of soaking but it will dissipate the rust.  When it does, rinse and dry them well.
