on 11/22/2005 I use baking soda for almost everything. We have hard water, so I throw a handful in the dishwasher during the rinse cycle. I add it in the washing machine, and the clothes are so fresh when they dry. You can also scrub tile floors with it. However, I don't use it on shiny surfaces, as it leaves a film and the floor isn't as pretty when you're done. You can scour coffee cups, sinks, dishes, using it instead of cleansers. You can get 12 lbs. for about $3.00. It lasts a long time.

on 3/25/2008 I bought a vwp from a company here in the U.S.A.. It works great and im saving lots of money. No filters! Do you know how great that is? Eco-friendly as well. Here is the e-mail: sso@vwp-usa.com

on 6/8/2007 Ever since moving into a rural, well water home, my Blood Pressure has gone skyhigh. I am told there is an expensive (over $3000) filtration system for the odor/hardness/taste/bacteria (ultraviolet light). Could I be getting extra salt from this system? I haven't mentioned my problem to the owners but if my medical problem is aggravated by this, I can get alternate drinking water source (bottled) covered by my health plan. Also should I concerned about bottled water companies who deliver those big bottles to your water cooler machine that you buy or rent? Any info will be appreciated. Thanks.
