Vinegar as a "softener"

[mrboilwash]

Launderess

Rethinking the whole situation I know I have overreacted a little bit.

But I also think we both know there is no single bully or victim in this case. We`ve had our difficulties on and off from the day I joined here and I think we both know very well what the saying "It Takes Two For A Tango" means. None of us is the innocent one.

So can`t we just pretend this never happened and move on like two rational adults ?
This is the best of an apology I can offer right now and I hope you`ll accept it.[this post was last edited: 4/21/2017-07:24]

Vinegar works wonders, but it won't untwist panties.

won't untwist panties.

Precisely why I just stopped wearing them all together.

"Precisely why I just stopped wearing them altogether.&#

Oo, er, Missus!

Now that I`ve rearranged my panties back in place I`d like to add one more thing on the topic of vinegar.

Every owner of a Technivorm Moccamaster, the upscale drip coffee maker with a copper brewing element instead of the usual aluminum one should know to better avoid acetic acid in the decaling process because of possible formation of poisonous verdigris or in other words copper acetate.
I don`t think this is transferable to porcelain tubs or the gaskets found in a washer, but my point is in the case of copper and vinegar there is clearly more to it than just the pH, compatibility of the two is simply not given.

I'm not certain now???

Well, this thread is exactly why I no longer participate in the threads. However, I do read everything on a daily basis and feel compelled to write this as my last comment. I am taking the attitude that dear Rose has and just shake my hair, fix my nails, talk on the phone with my latest man and take the above whatever you want to call it as one persons opinion that differs from anothers. I can only imagine what Oslo's reaction/comment would be about what has been written above. I wrote a personal note to Ms. Bucket way back about my no longer participating in threads due to having several supposedly nice and informed members jumping down my throat and tap dancing on my lungs about something I wrote and the title I gave it. I will always remember what you told me Ms. Bucket; Just ignore it and consider where it is coming from and go on with your life. I say the same to you dear Ms. Bucket. You must remember that Richard and the rest of your family can not live without your comments. This club is the same. We need you to guide us with your knowledge and wisdom. It is time now to go to the luncheon at the church to guide the ladies in what to do. They simply can't manage a luncheon without being told how it is to be organized !!! I look forward to reading many more of you comments here Ms. Bucket as I know everyone else, well maybe not everyone , does also. Richard you didn't open the car door for me !!!!!

Well that reinforces the wisdom of always consulting the owner's manual on proper cleaning procedures. This is especially important with appliances that process food or drink.
