Thanks for the vinegar tip... I just found icky stuff under my bath mat when I went to rearrange it. I cleaned it as best I could with a sponge and shampoo but it's needing something a bit stronger so next store trip I'll buy vinegar. I have a tiny bit here now but keep it close bye for soap making emergencies... thank god I have never had to use it but it's there if I need it. When working with lye it can splatter or valcano on you and vinegar neutralizes it immediately so I always keep it close to hand when I'm making my soaps.
Vinegar is also great if you are working with hot peppers such as jelapenos or haberneros, again it neutralizes the "hot" oils in them. I always rinse my hands especially under my fingernails after cutting up hot peppers with vinegar. It even works if you get the pepper oil on your contacts, saved me having to buy a new set of contacts one time.
