Vinegar cleans dog bowl and more says Dear Heloise
A reader asks about cleaning a self watering dog bowl with plastic components and concerns over vinegar taste. The column confirms white vinegar safely removes hard water deposits, sanitizes, and deodorizes, with simple steps of pouring, soaking, scrubbing, and rinsing, plus a note about keeping readers informed with Heloise’s pamphlet. The second letter urges readers to contact wildlife officers instead of attempting to rehabilitate wild animals, citing licensed wildlife rehabilitators and Fish and Wildlife Service guidance.
