I use vinegar to clean, too. it be cheap. And magic eraser does not work on my mildewed grout (athough it works great on other things.
I was quizzing people at my workplace today to see if they knew the phrase "Do not fold, spindle or mutilate", and it seems that in my small sample, those of us 33 and up do, and 33 and under do not. Although not everyone 33 and up knows what spindle actually is.
This was inspired by reading a lyrics site for Reefer Madness which had some lyrics (to Mary Jane/Mary Lane) as
My heart is stapled and swindled
My will-power dwindled
which I SWORE was "stapled and spindled". So I starting thinking that perhaps this was a young person who didn't know the word spindled.
Yes, my cow-orkers think I am nuts!
I cleaned my whole kitchen with baking soda one time, but I love the ease PLUS lack of fumes of the Magic Eraser -- no rinsing! No smelly! LOVE.
I have drunk diluted apple cider vinegar for my health.
Magic Eraser worked a little on my grout (enough to justify a swipe now and then), clorox bleach pen worked the best in terms of "almost no scrubbing" cleaning agents.
Apparently diluted apple cider vinegar is indeed good for one's health. But. My mother gulps it down, undiluted, by the glassful. Or mixed half-and-half with iced tea. You literally cannot have any vinegar in the pantry if she's visiting.

Well, feh. After paying a good sum of money for the plumber to unclog the condensate drain from the AC(what he thought was causing the puddles) I went to do some laundry and there was another puddle. I've called the plumber and scheduled an "any time after 8:30" appointment which means I have to stay home and wait for the guy, using more vacation time.(I wish there was some sort of time off allotment for this kind of thing. Can't use sick time for this, and I hate using vacation this way)
She started drinking a little bit in her tea, for her kidneys, which was fine. Then as she got more dementia, it became almost an obsession - more and more vinegar, less tea. So she doesn't drink it FOR anything anymore - she just drinks it because it's in her head to do that, I guess.

For much of the 20th century IBM cards had the warning "Do not fold, spindle or mutilate," printed at one end, and that became something of a motto for the post-World War II era, though many people had no idea what spindle meant.
