Tip of the Day - 09/09/2010 (Dry Erase Markers) (house, beautiful, great)

[GloryB]

To double the life of your dry erase marker when it starts to go dry:
Soak the tip in white vinegar for 10 seconds.
Lay out to dry for 10 minutes.
Good as new.

(This only works a couple of times during the life of the marker. I don't know if it will also work for regular markers. )

PJ8 will take over the Tip of the Day thread beginning on September 10!
I'm really excited because I know she will do a great job.

Vinegar is really a miracle drug I heard it cures a lot of ailments and now dry erasers too. I think I will go get me some now...

Of course you are taking the chance your whole house will smell like an Easter egg.

I keep a large bottle of vinegar at all times. I use it mostly to clean out the shower head that gets clogged with minerals. Soak it in vinegar for about 30 minutes and it works beautifully.

Vinegar is an excellent cleaning liquid.

I love vinegar as a cleaner with baking soda, love the little fizz it gets!
