Assuming there are multiple Jesuses of course. Jesusii? Agh, I am confusing myself.<br /><br />Point: Vinegar and baking soda are miracle workers.Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14391276090336029599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394514009078994555.post-23970185049381857542011-08-02T08:15:46.455-06:002011-08-02T08:15:46.455-06:00Blue, I love it when you break out the nerd.

What you want there is just plain ol' soap, to act as an emulsifier, though baking soda can help soak up copious amounts of grease when needed. Alternately, get really hot sodium hydroxide solution and saponify the fats right the fuck there, but that could be pretty caustic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16655318034828876350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394514009078994555.post-83202654300327446352011-08-01T20:07:07.980-06:002011-08-01T20:07:07.980-06:00Hm.

We still have a bunch of dust and shit all over our floor from the people fixing the cracked pipe and it means our feet are tracking dirt EVERYWHERE and with general summery sweat and oiliness, the shower is nasty. And we have a ton of vinegar.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17894636472880258310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394514009078994555.post-49028893217853878382011-08-01T16:26:05.827-06:002011-08-01T16:26:05.827-06:00Acetic acid!

If you look at the ingredients on the fancy cleaners, odds are they use acetic acid (sometimes citric; stronger ones like hydrochloric have the disadvantage of dissolving the ceramic as well as the limescale) in small concentrations, often with a bunch of other gunk. It's really just the acid that does it though; limescale is made mostly of calcium carbonate, which is a salt that dissolves really easily in acid, but not in water. Eggshells are made of the same stuff; you can actually soak an egg in vinegar overnight, and the shell will dissolve away leaving only the membrane holding it together. Really cool experiment, though if you do it do it OUTSIDE because that shit STINKS if it breaks and gets everywhere.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16655318034828876350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394514009078994555.post-13466342105887159952011-08-01T12:14:43.355-06:002011-08-01T12:14:43.355-06:00Kaygee... yes.
