Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Vinegar is great for rinsing soap off of surfaces like glass, steel, formica, ceramic, and rinsing laundry in the final rinse. It also helps to set dies in clothing. Hot vinegar works great for getting lime scale out of tea kettles and pots & pans, and sinks. It also really does help to remove odors.
The only thing I would ever mix it with is classic blue Dawn (Fairy-green) dishwashing liquid to clean the shower walls.
For grease, like burnt pans, use Baking Soda (Bicarb). Dump it on dry and use a sponge to scrape it away, add a little dish detergent and it will all go. This is the best way to clean stainless steel as well.
Mixing vinegar and baking soda results in producing water + sodium acetate. Sodium acetate is not a cleaner, it's the flavoring of Salt & Vinegar potato chips.
Other than laundry detergent, my only other cleaner is Sal Suds by Dr Bronner. It's VERY concentrated and lasts a long time.
