2 Qs: Ziploc Bags and Cleaning the Toilet
The questions are completely unrelated, so please bear with me.
1. H made the comment the other night about wishing the ziploc bags were reusable. I told him there are some out there on etsy. I started browsing, but got very overwhelmed. Do you have any users that you recommend for the these? We don't use them a lot, but it would be nice to have some on hand. Or would you recommend something other than etsy for finding them?
2. I've been cleaning the toilets with vinegar and baking soda for the past few weeks, and I've noticed that I'm getting a dark ring around the waterline. I've been scrubbing with the vinegar and baking soda and not getting too far. Is there anything else I can do?

Re: 2 Qs: Ziploc Bags and Cleaning the Toilet
No....because I always forget to look for it in the store.
Will that work better than the baking soda?
We reuse them when we can, but I know there are also some sandwich/ snack bags available that may be better.
probably, it works pretty well
I use the Method toilet bowl cleaner. I really like it because it gets the cleaner up under the rim. I also just reuse my ziplocs, as well as produce bags and random bags that cheese and other things come in. You can buy a bag dryer on etsy, but I am going to make one with a wooden dowel and a block I got at Michaels.
BTW, I love your dancer pic! (but I am bias because I danced)
We have these and like them. You just flip them inside out to clean.

I use both of these bags and love them.

I wash freezer bags and reuse especially for dry goods. When it somes to a bag that was used for chicken or meats I just toss those just to be safe from contamination.
To wash I just turn them inside out and soap up and rinse. Super easy to wash.
As far as ziplocks for snacks and sandwiches in lunches I try REALLY hard to use containers.
