I soak my feet in vinegar and brown listerene Rocky and for some reason I have heaps of seagulls following me around now. So reckon if you clean your house etc with vinegar the seagulls will be out in force mate.

We've always used White Vinegar to clean our shower recess. No mold & no seagull sh*t to speak of despite us living near a beach.
Nothing like hot chips sprinkled with vinegar & salt, wrapped in butchers paper, particularly the ones you find down the bottom when you thought that you were finished!

OK Dougwe, I'll be the "fall guy" - why do you soak your feet in vinegar and brown Listerine?

Vinegar contains acetic acid. That probably kills some bugs.
Chlorine or alcohol would be much more effective, I reckon.

Ya are not forced to read links, but it sort of helps to understand the post.

No I did not read the link, I thought it was a genuine question, not just a rehash of some other so called news item. Clearly I was wrong.
If I had seen the original I would not have wasted my time opening it either.
Cheers,
Peter

Being around wind and dust a lot and the old thongs (on the feet ) the feet dry out and crack and two lovely ladies many moons back told me about the mixture and it works. Helps fix all problems but ya smell like fish and chips

Sorry Rocky to,
Well John who really cares? Boring.
vinegar mixed with baking soda left on your cooktop for 30 mins, removes those dark cooking stains on the s/steel...

A One Hour soak in Greens Lake will solve Anxiety, Depression, Arthritis, Dermatitis, Urinary & Bowel infections, speech impediments and Hangovers!
A solution of water and about 10% metho will do the job.
