The Frugal Wonder came up when I did a google search.

And I am listing this one because it says rinsing with vinegar "will keep pet hair from clinging to clothes"

I use it and Apple Cider Vinegar for Cleaning. I have a spray bottle of ACV and water and a spray bottle of Water mixed with Hydrogen peroxide to clean my kitchen counters.
I use either vinegar and baking soda in my toilet to help clean it (and Efferdent tablems).
I only use Bleach in my drains now b/c last year I had a large clog in my tub drain and I tried everything to get it out. I ended up buying this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H5TALI/...I&linkCode=asn and after reading several things that the worst thing to use is the commercial drain cleaners b/c they eat thru the pipes and to use bleach - I used bleach and that plunger and heard a large pop and I haven't had a problem since for over a year!
ACV is also a GREAT hair conditioner. I keep it in the spray bottle in the shower and after shampooing, I spray it in my hair and it really helps with itchy scalp.

Yeah, that's what the lady in my line was buying for her dryer. I want to get them eventually, but I still like the idea of using something in the wash, too. It's nice to hear that they work, though! We sell them, like I said, but I hadn't heard any reviews!

Really? Do you rinse it out or leave it in? I would imagine you rinse it... do you use it in conjunction with other conditioners, or is that all you use?

And, that thing about bleach is amazing...I try to go as natural and unoffensive as possible...but with drains, bleach is no more crappy for the environment or people than dran-o. I'll have to give that a shot!

nope don't rinse it - the smell goes away in about 10 minutes.
