Next, slowly pour a medium sized bottle of vinegar into the toilet, which will make the water fizz and foam up. Let it sit for a few minutes, then pour a gallon or 2 of warm water into the toilet.

This will save you a lot of money in battery costs over time. However, always use regular batteries for fire alarms.<\/p>\n<p>Now, you can even get USB rechargeable batteries!

They are inexpensive, and will help prevent over-watering in case you forget to shut off the sprinkler.<\/p>\n<p>Eco Tip #3: Soak your dirty dishes in a bit of water before loading them into your dishwasher. This allows you to skip the pre-wash feature, which actually wastes a lot of water. As a rule of thumb, don\u2019t run the dishwasher unless it\u2019s full to conserve water and energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home Plumbing Tips Home Plumbing Tip #1: To unclog a toilet, pour a box of baking soda in there.
