vinegar and baking soda (but not to much) to help deorderize door seal.
No. Add some borax to a blind wash instead.

  • Female dog has very offensive urine. Washed in baking soda vinegar H2O?

    I am seriously considering finding her a home the smell is so bad. What can I wash her in to get rid of the odor. I cannot afford a vet.Female dog has very offensive urine. Washed in baking soda vinegar H2O?
    Find her another home. She sounds like she has a urinary tract infection. If you can't afford to take her to the vet, then you really can't afford to keep her.





    You are probably feeding her Ol' Roy or some other nutritionally bankrupt food. If she was eating a high quality food, she would be less likely to get sick. But if you can't afford the vet, you can't afford good food for her either.Female dog has very offensive urine. Washed in baking soda vinegar H2O?
    You may want to try changing her food.
    I think you should consider finding her a new home. Make they are aware of her problem so it can be taken care of, probably one Vet visit and medication is all it will take. It is probably a urinary tract infection which can be cleared up with medication. Washing the dog will not help as it is an internal problem. I can not believe how many people have pets and can not afford vet visits. Having a pet is like having a baby, along with ownership comes responsibility and unfortunately money. Owning pets can get very expensive. Only committed people should own pets who can take care of them properly. Even those who love animals are sometimes the worse offenders. So my advise is if you can not afford a vet find a good home for your dog. A home with people who can afford to take care of him/her. It is your responsibility to take care of this, you owe the dog the chance to be both happy and healthy.
    First off, baking soda and vinegar neutralize each other. If you use them both at the same time they won't do any good. Secondly, if the dog smells because of her own urine even after you have bathed her, then there's something seriously wrong that a different cleaning solution isn't going to fix. Fist off, she needs to be house trained. If she is already housetrained and having accidents in the house and getting it on her, then it is most likely a urinary tract infection (UTI). The other possibility if she smells very foul and you are sure it is coming from ';that end'; (and she is not spayed) is a pyometra...a serious and life-threatening infection of her uterus. Either way the only responsible thing to do is take her to a vet to rule out any health problems. If a vet has cleared her of any health issues, then it may just be that you are one of those people who are offended by doggie odor and should find her a new home and never get another dog. ALL dogs smell, some dogs have a stronger odor than others and some people are more sensitive to it than others. But ALL dogs smell to some degree and you will NEVER be able to get rid of that smell completely regardless of what kind of cleaning solution you use.
    What you can do is give her more fresh water to dilute her urine. Or you can potty train her to just go pee outside of the house on the grass. If that still doesnt work out then you can just give her daily walks and have her pee and do her other business at a park or something. Good luck.
    Guess you are one of those ignorant people that don't know that a dog is a lifetime committment.





    You don't find a dog another home because she smells. GEEZ! She's probably sick. Take her to the vet. Put it on your charge. Make payments. Do something responsible for your pet that depends on you for everything. People like you get me sick!
    It could be a urinary tract infection or kidney problems. It could actually be quite serious.





    Not to sound mean but if you can't afford to properly care for the dog, maybe she would be better with someone else? Especially if she ends up with some health problems (sometimes a dog is prone to UTIs and needs to be treated several times through their lifetime). If it smells that bad she is probably pretty uncomfortable.





    Some veterinary hospitals are actually pretty nice about this because they understand and would rather help the dog. They will ask you to give up ownership but then they will treat and find the dog a home. I know the Banfield hospitals have a policy for this very scenario.
    Are you kidding? Dog stinks and you are going to find a new home.. Can't afford the vet?? Check the food you are feeding.. Good health starts within.. If your dog stinks and it's clean then there is a problem. If you aren't going to see the vet, you are neglecting and abusing your dog.. Find the poor thing a home maybe someone will take proper care of her...
    First determine whether the dog has a bladder infection or other health issue. Also, is the dog spayed? I wonder whether this could contribute to the problem. But, what I am really wondering, is why the dog has urine on her fur? Is she laying or sleeping in the urine? Dogs don't usually do this. It is not good for the dog, or healthy for you. What can you do to change the set-up so that the dog does not have to lay in urine? I would definitely check to see if she has a bladder infection or other health issue. If she does, and gets worse, it could cost more, in the long run. Check to see if there is a low-cost clinic or if the Humane Society has a lower rate you can pay for treatment if she needs it.

    What will happen when you mix washing soda and vinegar?

    It will dissolve and give off lots of bubbles of carbon dioxide gas, as well as dragging the smell of the vinegar along with it into the air.

    Why do we add vinegar or salt at the time of washing new clothes if colors bleed?

    Most dyes are done in an acid bath. By putting vinegar and salt in the first wash of new clothes gives them a bath in ';acid'; which reinforces the dye.





    Laundry soaps are 90% alkaline (as any soap is). When you wash new clothes in detergent, you accelerate the dye loss because you have placed them in an alkaline environment. Same for subsequent washes.





    You may ask then why not make ';acid'; soaps? Because alkaline environments do better at solubilizing and suspending dirt. Also alkaline better helps to remove oils, fats, and proteins which make up a large part of ';regular'; wear dirt.





    Any of these ';new'; products for black clothes only or any other type of ';special'; soap just plays on the balance between acids/alkalies or PH Neutral environments so that the color stays better and is enhanced by some fiber enhancers.Why do we add vinegar or salt at the time of washing new clothes if colors bleed?
    I've been told the acidic content in white vinegar will help ';set'; the color in. But obviously, as you wash, the dyes will wash away too.





    I've never added vinegar to my wash cycle, only the rinse cycle though.....well,, by adding it to the fabric softener compartment, which essentially is the same thing.

    Can I put vinegar in the washing machine, with my clothing. . . ?

    instead of javex bleach? I have some towels that seem to have mildew or something, I want to be more green and so I don't want to use bleach. But I know bleach would kill the mildew, so if i use vinegar instead, will that work just as well? If not what can I put in the wash to kill the mildew? I have tried just washing them in hot water with soap, but the mildew is still there. Can I put vinegar in the washing machine, with my clothing. . . ?
    vinegar will not likely kill the mildew. I would use Borax or an oxygen bleach. I do use vinegar as a fabric softener.Can I put vinegar in the washing machine, with my clothing. . . ?
    Mildew can stain even after it's died so you need something that will both kill it and address the stain. I'd try Borax for a more eco-friendly alternative to chlorine bleach.
    I hope this helps...

    Who uses Baking Soda/Borax/Washing Soda/White Vinegar in the laundry?

    I use baking soda in the wash, it removes odors, and softens the water to help the detergent work better. I use the amount of detergent for a small load, for an extra large load. Then I use the white vinegar in the rinse. Not only does it work as a great fabric softener, it also kills germs and bacteria. I use vinegar for all sorts of cleaning jobs; from laundry to kitchen and bath counters, to windows and mirrors, and tile and linoleum floors. It's a great natural antibacterial and germ fighter.Who uses Baking Soda/Borax/Washing Soda/White Vinegar in the laundry?
    I use baking soda as a water softener; and white vinegar as a clothes softener I get both at the dollar store. Vinegar does just as good a job as expensive softeners like Bounce etc and is much cheaper.


    I use borax occasionally for really Gounod in dirtWho uses Baking Soda/Borax/Washing Soda/White Vinegar in the laundry?
    I use Washing Soda on a somewhat regular basis, especially for things like really dirty jeans, sweaty gym clothes and dirty white socks. It does make the detergent work better and gets rid of odors that you'd rather not have around!





    It's cheap and you don't need to use a lot!
    I use baking soda on a regular basis, but have never used white vinegar. Might help with the whites, but white vinegar is kind of expensive isn't it? 5 pounds of baking soda is CHEEP! CHEEP! CHEEP! Especially at COSTCO.





    I use white vinegar in the coffee maker to clean the calcium and **** out.

    Washing out hair dye with white vinegar?

    I've read somewhere that it helps bring out a better color. Is that true?





    I'm in the process of bleaching my hair right now, then afterward I'm going to apply red dye to it.





    If the washing-out-with-vinegar thing is true, how long should I leave it in, and do I use cold/warm water?Washing out hair dye with white vinegar?
    Its mostly for getting off dye on your hands. But however, it does bring out certain colors. You would probaly leave it in for about 15- 20 minutes, and wash out with cold water.Washing out hair dye with white vinegar?
    I heard about that too!


    uhmm it seems like it could work, i use white wine vinegar for new jeans to keep the color from fading...


    you probably should just rinse the color out with it like you would do with water


    and then rinse again using COLD water.
    i d0nt kn0w if that's true.


    but 0mg.


    bad idea 0n the bleaching y0ur hair then dying it an0ther c0l0ur.

    Hey, please help me, what is the chemical formula for vinegar or washing powder?????

    This is urgent!!!!!!!!!Hey, please help me, what is the chemical formula for vinegar or washing powder?????
    vinegar is acetic acd (ethanoic acid) with chemical formula


    CH3COOH





    washing powder is usually made from sodium carbonate, chemical formula Na2CO3Hey, please help me, what is the chemical formula for vinegar or washing powder?????
    Washing powder is sodium carbonate Na2CO3. Vinegar is produced by fermentation of ethanol and contains acetic acid, CH3COOH.
    Vinegar is mainly made up of H2O and is not a substance, therefore does not have a chemical formula on its own. The small percentage 4-8% of diluted acetic acid mixed with water, has the chemical formula CH3COOH or HC2H3O2.





    Sodium carbonate, chemical compound, Na2CO3, soluble in water and very slightly soluble in alcohol. Pure sodium carbonate is a white, odorless powder that absorbs moisture from the air, has an alkaline taste, and forms a strongly alkaline water solution. It is one of the most basic industrial chemicals. Sodium carbonate decahydrate, Na2CO3路10H2O, is a colorless, transparent crystalline compound commonly called sal soda or washing soda.
    vinegar-CH3COOH(aq)(acetic acid) and washing powder-Na2CO3, i think.
    Na2CO3 washing powder


    CH3COOH ethanoic acid(vineger)
    washing powder is usually a detergent

    Would using just vinegar alone, do a good job in washing clothes or can I make my own detergent without borax?

    Vinegar will work well for cleaning and freshening the wash, but it doesn't entirely lift body oils, so I'd wash every so often with soap or detergent (you can still use vinegar in the rinse to prevent soap buildup). Plain grated Ivory soap works fine and is dead cheap.Would using just vinegar alone, do a good job in washing clothes or can I make my own detergent without borax?

    Which is the best method to disinfect my washing machine and eliminate its funky odor? Bleach,vinegar and how?

    Try this hint from Heloise:





    1. Set the washing machine on the highest water level, temperature on hot and the wash cycle to normal.


    2. Fill a gallon jug with hot tap water. Once the cycle begins, let it run for a minute or two, then stop the cycle, open the lid and slowly add the gallon of hot tap water. Don't overfill 鈥?you just want to raise the water level so that it is able to reach and clean the inside top rim.


    3. Add 2 to 4 cups of household chlorine bleach and restart the cycle. In a couple of minutes, stop it again and just let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Afterward, let the cycle finish, and open the lid to air out the inside.Which is the best method to disinfect my washing machine and eliminate its funky odor? Bleach,vinegar and how?
    Try doing a load of whites with bleach, and letting them soak awhile, or an empty load for that matter. I've done it numerous times, but try not to forget there's a lot in there. If there's something I'm not able to dry right away, I leave the lid open when the wash is done, that way I remember there's a load in the washer %26amp; it keeps the mildew from forming.Which is the best method to disinfect my washing machine and eliminate its funky odor? Bleach,vinegar and how?
    Use baking soda in a washload of clothes.
    Run a normal cycle with an empty machine using bleach or a strong neutralising disinfectant.
    Run an empty load with nothing but a couple cups of straight bleach and it should sweeten up the washer... just be sure it rinces everything well.
    Put a cup of bleach or vinger run small cycle hot water.
    wipe up under the flap ...then do an empty load with bleach or vinegar
    I have never had that problem because (as tikitiki suggests) when we do our towels weekly we add a little bleach and then when the machine is not in use, we leave the door ajar.
    run bleach and detergant together threw a cycle with nothing else in it and do this for how ever long it takes to satisfy you with the smell.
    The funky odor is actually stale water in the bottom. Undo the drain hose, with plenty of rags around. Put back on and run an empty load with a washer cleaning product found at your local mom and pop hardware store.

  • Can you really wash a relaxer out by using vinegar?

    i had gotten a few relaxers in 2007 and i hated how my hair was now always dry and flat. so i thought i could grow the relaxed hair out but its not working like i thought. one of my closest friends has a relaxer in his head. he told me today how he was going to get dreads this summer. i was like how can you do that with a permed head sweetheart? he told me he was gonna wash it out. i was astounded. i was like can you really do that? so later on my mother and i went out to get some ice cream and i asked her about it. she said you can with vinegar. i was like yea right. are you serious? ive been trying to make my hair back natural for months and now you tell me. so i just wanna know is that really true just b4 i try it tomarrow. thx!Can you really wash a relaxer out by using vinegar?
    I dont know if it is true. But, recommend you braiding your hair or just going for the BIG CHOP.





    I am natural and I just cut all my hair off. You can get you hair back to a more natural texture but it does take time.





    Using vinegar on your hair on a regular basis is crazy. I would just try being patient and if you want to be natural be natural or try braids or some other kind of style.





    www.octoberorganics.com





    look at their blog it is greatCan you really wash a relaxer out by using vinegar?
    I have relaxed hair and I use vinegar as a clarifier... Nothing can make your hair turn back into it's natural state. The only thing you can do now is NEVER get a perm again and once you have a decent amount of new growth, cut the permed hair off.
    ok well a relaxer changes your hair on the inside.. nothing you do will change what it has done. think of it like this. Kind of one of those things what is done is done. It really changes the entire makeup of the hair strand and it just isn't reversable.. sorry:(
    NO!!!! That's a lie! When you get a relaxer it changes the structure of your hair strands individually, you can't wash it out. You hair has been chemically treated to permanently change the texture.





    Sorry, my husband is a cosmetologist!





    that is like saying can you wash out highlights...lol, tell your mommy and your friend NO!

    To neutralize the basic shampoo. Base dissolve oils, that is why a basic liquid could wash hair. But it would also remove the natural oils that make hair shiny and manageable.

    How do you drain a dishwasher when the dishes are already washed? do you use vinegar and baking soda to unclog?

    the drain?How do you drain a dishwasher when the dishes are already washed? do you use vinegar and baking soda to unclog?
    I always unload the dishwasher and then clean all the filters on the inside of the washer. Make sure your sink is draining well. Then run the rinse cycle only. This usually does it for me. Once a month I spray vinegar on the inside of the dishwasher and let it sit, then run the rinse cycle with no dishes. This helps with hard water build up. Good luck!How do you drain a dishwasher when the dishes are already washed? do you use vinegar and baking soda to unclog?
    If your dishwasher isn't draining then you will have to take off all of the shields on the bottom of the unit (on the outside) then you will see the motor. Unplug the dishwasher then put your fingers in the motor and start to turn it to free up the motor, the motor is kinda like a vacuum cleaner belt, so when you hand turn the motor your allowing the belt to slip back into it's grove. then when your done plug it back in (after your hand is out of the motor lol) then turn the dishwasher on and it should drain.





    Hope this helps,


    Handyman.
    The outlet of the dishwasher is normally connected to the sink waste pipe. I suggest you remove any blockage from here.





    You can also remove the Centre filter from the machine and clean.





    But I don't think the machine is the problem because it is fitted with a fine coarse filter. I think the problem is at or close to the waste outlet at the sink.
    Remove dishes pull the dishwasher out from the space then unhook the waste pipe and lower into a washing up bowel this should et rid of the surplus water if you have already checked the filters re attach the waste pipe and then run the machine with no load to try to unclog the pipe. good luck
    You have to disconnect the drain hose from the bottom of the dishwasher and let the water empty into a pan.
