Is there?</p> http://www.stopthesearch.com/questions/142/what-temperature-should-i-set-the-fridge-and-freezer-at-for-maximum-effectiveness What temperature should I set the fridge and freezer at for maximum effectiveness and energy savings?

SaveMeFromMyHome 2009-10-11T00:11:21Z 2009-11-04T10:11:17Z <p>I've used vinegar and water mixes to clean windows which works really well so vinegar can probably be used around the home to clean in other ways too, but how? I'm guessing that it can be used pretty extensively in the bathroom and kitchen but can it be used for the floor tiles or jewelry as well?</p> <p>Using Vinegar and water should be a more green cleaning choice than using harsh chemicals right?</p>
