It can be hazardous working with bleach (which can burn your skin) so vinegar and water is actually a safer alternative than using bleach and water, which is what pet stores use. This is probably easier to do in your bathtub. Clean out any hamster debris or wood shavings with soap and water. Empty the water. Mix about two tablespoons vinegar to a quart (32 oz.) of water and scrub the sides and bottom well with this. Leave it on for about 15 minutes and then rinse it out thoroughly. You should at this point let the tank air dry, but you can also fill it with water for your fish if you think you've got most of the vinegar out. It's most important for you to get the soap out because detergent is what harms fish the most. When filling the water for your fish make sure you add the water drops that remove the chlorine from the tap water you fill the tank with, even if you use a pump with charcoal.

washed with vinegar D: weird... well fish tanks are easy to clean. Get a hose and blast all the dust and scum off first. As long as the glass looks clean to you, you don't have to scrub it over. Ok now fill the whole tank with water and add about a teaspoon of bleach per 10 gallons so for yours 2 teaspoons. The bleach will kill off any old bacteria and mold that's too small to see. You can try the vinegar thing, but I hear that it does something to the sealing silicone... so I wouldn't try. Just make sure not to use any soaps and you should be fine. Oh forgot! You have to be careful with the bleach, I recommend filling it up with water after dumping the bleach and water out and letting it dry. Add 2 teaspoons of water conditioner and let it sit.
First of all, look at the condition of the silicone glue that holds the glass panes together. If it scratched up, you'll need to buy some silicone aquarium sealant, or it may leak or develop a leak later. Hamsters tend to scratch and nibble on aquarium sealant.





If he had a wheel and/or toys, he might not have done any damage. Fill it up outside to make sure it doesn't leak.





Clean it simply by filling it up, scrubbing the sides with a cloth, and letting it sit overnight. As long as you didn't use soap or harsh cleaning chemicals, this is all that is needed.
you can use viniger to clean it, or non chlorine bleach, or non iodized salt, in either case rinse it out extremely thouroghly and bee careful never to get any soap in it , if you already did, rinse it out even more and with NON iodized salt, ';iodine kills fish';, if it needs scrubbing get a brand new bad, not one from the floor or sink, And some hot water

When to put vinegar in the wash?

I have read that you put vinegar in the Rinse water of your colored clothes. I remember my mom doing this, but do you have to add in only the rinse or can I put it in with my detergent?When to put vinegar in the wash?
You can put it in during the rinse. It will NOT make your cloths smell of vinegar. It softens and removes lint from dark cloths. you can also use vinegar to remove soap scum from your shower and sinks just put some in a spray bottle and let it soak for 10 to 15 min. It will also deter bugs from bitting you, just put some undiluted vinegar on a cotton ball and apply to skin.When to put vinegar in the wash?
I use it as the rinse agent for all my washed stuff


when you put the downey in use vinegar instead
That's interesting. My guess is that you only put it in the rinse water because it's function is prob. to rid clothes of any soap residue. I wouldn't want to do this because for one thing, I think the detergents we have now are better than in our mother's day and they prob. rinse out better and secondly, I like the smell of Tide detergent and Downy fabric softener. I wouldn't want the clothes to smell of vinegar.
you will need to put it in the rinse cycle vinegar is a great way to soften clothes instaed of using fabric softener that tends tp lva build up on clothes...highly reccomend vinegar i use it with every load i do...the old fashion way of doing things is the best!!! better results our parents new what they were doing. and its less expensive for the same results.

If you added washing soda crystals to vinegar, what would you see happening?

Soda crystals react with acid to give off carbon dioxide, this is the only clue I know.If you added washing soda crystals to vinegar, what would you see happening?
Sodium Carbonate plus acetic acid = fizzing as carbon diozide is released and leaves sodium acetate behind and water.





Not explosive in the true definition, but in a sealed container the production of the gas will pressurise and then blow a hole in the container if the pressure gets too great.





Washing soda aka Soda Crystals are not the same as baking Soda...which is bicarbonate of soda, plus other raising agents.If you added washing soda crystals to vinegar, what would you see happening?
I have not heard of 'washing soda crystals- but if it has baking soda in it, if you mix the two, you will have an 'explosion', if the mixture is put in a sealed container. If this is an assignment for school, why not do the homework instead of spending the time trying to get the answer.
you would probably see fizzing and bubbling

I'm washing outside windows , will vinegar harm bedding plants and flowers?

Using a solution of 16 oz half being vinegar and then water will this harm or kill plants or flowers if it is spilled onto them?

vinegar is a popular organic weed killer.....I'm washing outside windows , will vinegar harm bedding plants and flowers?
YES!!! I made the mistake of doing this and all the plants under and around my windows have severe damage. A lot of them died because they absorbed the vinegar through the root system. I wouldn't do it.

Help! I used OIL OF OLAY BODY WASH in Hair and cannot get it out after vinegar rinses and 12 sham?

You may or may not like this answer, but it WILL work...Wash your hair with Dawn dish detergent. Only use a little it makes a lot of soap. It will cut the creme oil in the Oil of Olay body wash.Help! I used OIL OF OLAY BODY WASH in Hair and cannot get it out after vinegar rinses and 12 sham?
I think a trip to your beauty shop might be in order. I can't imagine why 12 shampoos and vinegar rinses haven't gotten rid of it. Maybe try JUST the shampooing. The rinses are probably counterproductive.Help! I used OIL OF OLAY BODY WASH in Hair and cannot get it out after vinegar rinses and 12 sham?
LMAO :D ... I can't believe I'm not the only one who's done that! ... I think the one I used was actually Dove Body Wash, which was really ritch in moisture/conditioner.. but it was so hard to get out! I can see where you are coming from, luckily I didn't try any crazy things like vinegar rinses.. I shampooed like 4 times and didn't use conditioner, and my hair was still oily and nasty. The best thing to do is to run (or have someone go) to Wal Mart/ Walgreens/ CVS/ any store where they sell Neutrogena products. Buy the Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo....

When I used it, it instantly fixed my hair! .. All I had to do was use conditioner (although I was worried it would get my hair super oily again). That stuff is the best shampoo ever to get out hair products, etc! Afterwards you use it once a week, and you can keep using your other regular shampoo. I used to switch shampoos constantly cuz afterwhile they wouldn't work the same, but using this Anti-Residue shampoo, I can keep using the same shampoo, cuz it really cleans out all the buildup from the root the the tip, and it leaves your hair super clean.





I highly recommend it to get that body wash out!





Good luck! :)
Prell shampoo is the best for stripping out buildup on hair.

How can I get the vinegar smell out of my washing machine?

I put small bottle of white distilled vinegar (approx. 2 cups worth) in my washing machine and let it run through the cycle, because the machine was starting to smell like old water. Now whenever I wash a load the water coming INTO the machine smells like the vinegar, and now my clothes also smell like it even after I dry them. Any suggestions to get the vinegar out of the machine's system?How can I get the vinegar smell out of my washing machine?
It will take time but the smell will fade. I always use vinegar in every wash in place of a fabric conditioner. After line-drying, the smell vanishes.How can I get the vinegar smell out of my washing machine?
