Slightly Greener House Cleaning Ideas courtesy of The Vinegar Institute
I could not call this piece 'Green House Cleaning Ideas' since Ammonia and other chemicals are on occasion part of the mix so I changed the title to 'slightly greener'.
Of all the cleaning tips compiled by The Vinegar Institute, there is only one that I tested, the Coffee Maker Cleaning solution (automatic maker only):
"White distilled vinegar can help to dissolve mineral deposits that collect in automatic drip coffee makers from hard water. Fill the reservoir with white distilled vinegar and run it through a brewing cycle. Rinse thoroughly with water when the cycle is finished. (Be sure to check the owner’s manual for specific instructions.)"
I actually got the suggestion from a lady at a local supermarket. It does work.
in the 100% Green, count removing Water or alcohol marks on wood...

Yes, this works. I have been using vinegar to clean my coffee maker for years now. I use to use CLR which is expensive and the smell of it was worse than vinegar.
