Going swimming?

According to The Vinegar Book doctors are now recommending some vinegar treatments as a preventative care for swimmers ear.

"Simply dilute vinegar half and half with boiled water and use to rinse out the ears after each swim.  For a more drying solution, mix vinegar half and half with alcohol.  This helps to prevent both bacterial and fungus growth."

Solution to dust...or just a big help

As I was dusting the other day I was shocked that my shelves (that are up high) had little to no dust on them.  I knew it had been awhile since I had dusted -- our glass t.v. stand was in desperate need of a good dusting.  It dawned on me that the last time I dusted my shelves I used a little dusting solution.  If it can help me have to dust less in this desert air then I am a firm believer.

1 Tablespoon White Distilled Vinegar

1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Mix it up and use a cleaning cloth to wipe down wood furniture.  As with all cleaning solutions test first.
