It means if you have a cup of water (for example), 3 quarters of it would be water, and one quarter vinegar.

You haven't given any measurements for me to go by otherwise... but whatever amount or size of anything, picture a pie in 4 parts, take away one (that's vinegar) and leave 3 pieces of water.

I measure (cup, mug, what have you) of vinegar to three of the same measure of water.

I used to use 50% vinegar. However, this is not recommended for the heated tube on my new CPAP. I will wash that in soapy water and everything else in vinegar solution.

Hope it's strong enough to dissolve the dirt in her cap lock key. Jim

I'd be more worried about working with a dangerous acid, (vinegar). Jim

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.
