    it helps clean the machine as well so for the piddling amount it costs for the vinegar its well worth ditching the comfort and lenor

    also better for the environment as well isnt it

    ;D

    sorry if this has been said. my kettle was all scaled up from the hard water and i just boiled some white vinegar in there and then left it for a while and its not scaley at all now. :) much cheaper than that stuff you buy which is all full of awful chemicals!

    thats right rach

    if youd added a bit of bicarb it would have been faster and possibly stronger as well

    much cheaper than the bought stuff isnt it

    I know that vinegar has many many uses - but there was one featured on tv at 7pm, BBC1 - alien busting!

    Can anyone beat that ;)

    Ah, but could you see where the conversation was leading, even before he got there. I was shouting 'vinegar' at the tv as soon as he mentioned calcium life-forms.

    Maybe TARDIS really means.... Time and Relative Dimension in (Money)Saving :D

    But will vinegar beat the Daleks?

    squeaky - 7pm BBC3, tomorrow. All you need to know about how to kill slimey aliens with vinegar. But don't forget your bicarb and a microfibre cloth - makes a bit of a mess :D
