Idaho Real Estate Household Tips 
You can organize, protect and store many items large and small with

straw and seal.

Vinegar (from Old French vinaigre "sour wine") is a sour liquid made from the oxidation
of ethanol in wine, cider, beer, or the like. Vinegar is typically three to five percent by volume
acetic acid, and natural vinegars also contain smaller amounts of tartaric acid, citric
acid, and others.
1. Make vinegar ice cubes to deodorize a garbage disposal by feeding them down the
disposal. When done grinding, run cold water through the drain.
2. Clean a dishwasher by running a cup of vinegar through an entire cycle to reduce
soap buildup on the inner mechanisms and glassware.

Georges de Mestral, a Swiss engineer, invented the hook-loop fastener in 1941. The idea
came to him after he took a close look at the Burdock seeds which kept sticking to his clothes
and his dog’s fur on their daily walk in the Alps, during the summer. He examined their
condition and saw the possibility of binding two materials reversibly in a simple fashion.
He developed the hook and loop fastener and submitted his idea for patent in 1951.
De Mestral named his invention "VELCRO" after the French words velours, meaning ‘velvet,’
and crochet, or ‘hook.’
1. Stick several strips of Velcro™ to the wall and to the back of a lightweight frame to hang
art or photos on a wall.
2. Sew small pieces of Velcro™ between buttons to create a smooth surface to prevent a
jacket or a blouse from gaping open.
