Use of white vinegar for mineral deposits inside bottles - 7/29/2004 10:03:25 PM    Diego916   Posts: 3 Joined: 7/27/2004 Status: offline Hello everyone, I have filled the bottle pictured below with white vinegar and am letting it sit, cork top removed and covered with saran. My question is this, at what point do I give up and try something different when I no longer observe progress? Thanks in advance!

Hope this helps, KAT (in reply to Diego916) Post #: 2
