Home Office Vinegar Tips

Cleaning your computer mouse
When your computer mouse gets dirty and picks up dust,
it becomes hard to manipulate.
Instead of buying a special cleaner
mix half vinegar and half water and use that.
Remove the ball and wipe clean with the solution.
Dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free towel.
Dip a cotton swab into the solution and wipe inside the mouse,
removing dust or dirt particles.
Use a wrung out cloth to wash the outside of the mouse.

Clean home equipment
Dip a cloth into a mixture of ½ vinegar and ½ water and wring out.
Wash down the outside of your
computer, printer and other pieces of equipment.
Never use a spray bottle for this job.
Use a cotton swab dipped in the mixture to clean the keyboard.
