Bathroom sink was slow to drain out water, so fed a zip tool down the drain. It pulled up some hair and also some weird chunks of mysterious bathroom gunk.  After that, the water went down great! This tool is awesome!

Made a homemade window cleaner with 1 cup water, 1 cup rubbing alcohol and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Mixed it inside an old spray bottle. Used a paper towel since I didn't have any newspaper on hand. You truly can't tell much from the photos, but I sprayed and cleaned all the windows inside and out on all my doors! They look much better now (at least in person).

Removed aerator with pliers, cleaned off with water/my fingers, then soaked it in bag of white vinegar for four hours (used the same bag of vinegar left over from the decalcifying showerhead challenge I posted yesterday).  Used an old toothbrush head to scrub off any remaining build-up on the aerator. Rinsed again with water and reinstalled in the faucet.

Ok so tested all the doors in my home and only one was squeaky, and on that door, it was only one of the hinges squeaking.
This is one of only two older doors in my home where the hinge has been painted over many years ago with white paint.
Was able to pry the pin up and out of the lower hinge with my nails (the bottom is closed on this hinge).
Rubbed ghee all over the pin and inside the hinge itself. Slid the pin back into the hinge and tapped it down with the bottom of the ghee bottle.
Retested the door and the squeak is gone!

Oiled some spoons and knives which had never been oiled before in their lives.
Used extra virgin olive oil, which was mentioned in one of the videos as being a good oil to use.
(I have extra bottles on hand that will be expiring soon, so wanted to use what I already had.)

Build up was clearly visible, but not extreme. Ran a cloth with white vinegar over it once before taking a photo, which did get off some of the more obvious build-up. Soaked shower head in a bag of white vinegar for close to two hours. Then scrubbed the shower head with the vinegar from the bag using an old toothbrush. Didn't need to unscrew it at all. Flow does seem to be a bit stronger/fuller.

Cleaned up after a meal of chicken, potatoes and olive oil.
No leftovers for scraps, ate every last bite.
Had to use very hot water, probably would boil it next time!
