Oh my.
My apologies for bringing over sort of, uh, trivial campfires, but because the new DUnumbers is starting out from scratch, the inventory of campfires there hasn't built up much yet.

Pros and cons of using white vinegar to clean stuff.
At my house, we find that white vinegar as a great natural deoderizer and eco-friendly cleaner. Lately, though, I've been worried about whether it has any long term, er, drawbacks, especially as a drain cleaner or a cleanser on things like shower interiors. Anyone with experience using vinegar throughout the decades

1. I've had one bad experience with it
I used it to clean the stopper of the bathroom sink, and it left a discolored, whitish circle around the drain.
A "whitish circle around the drain."
Whoop-whoop-de-do.
A "whitish circle around the drain."
Is there any problem so small, so tiny, so minuscule, so trivial, that it doesn't mess up a primitive's life?

2. My plumber told us to put white vinegar down the drains once a week.
I have not had any problems with it.
I use in instead of the rinse aid in the dishwasher, use it in washing machine to clean soap scum, use it in dish water when cleaning the pet dishes ( makes them squeaky clean), wipe the counters and cutting boards with it, spray it ( mixed with water) in the shower stalls.

Dear DUmmies,
Best thing EVAR. Dump some bleach in your toilet. Then add a generous amount of ammonia cleaner.
Stand by for hilarity.

Oh I know.
It kills many thousands of people around the world every year , Is lethal by inhalation in even the smallest doses , and the vapour causes major burns and even death nearly instantly. It is also a major component of acid rain.
Traces of it have been detected in most supermarket food and municipal water supplies world wide and I for one demand that the government ban this insidious poison immediately !!!!!.

I remember using regular Coke to clean the showers in boot camp. Then on the sub we used bug juice powder for scouring powder.

Don't laugh--a town in Orange County a few years back actually had an agenda item on their City Council meeting to discuss just that:
