清海無上師以英文講於英國舍瑞 2006.01.02(原文為英文)
我有一些醋做的噴液,用來洗手,照顧我的狗兒。另外,我也隨時帶著一瓶醋水各半的混合液,有時候在餐廳裡我會用來洗手:先噴在手上,然後再擦乾淨,或噴在公用的餐具上,消毒一下,再擦掉,這樣就很乾淨了!像乾洗一樣,「吱…」地噴一下,很實用又不含化學物質。醋是無害的,可以食用,所以沒問題,我隨身都帶著一小瓶。現在你們又學到一項竅門!
有時你們也可以把醋水噴在窗戶四周和其他地方,或噴一些無毒的驅蟲劑,這樣昆蟲就不會鑽進來,連蚊子也會離得遠遠的,小昆蟲也不會靠近你的紗窗。要是沒有那種驅蟲劑,噴一些醋也很有用,因為醋能消除所有的氣味,而蚊蟲都是被氣味吸引來的。也許你們可以噴些醋在身上,而不必噴香水,這樣蚊子就認不出到底你是一株萵苣,還是熱情的金髮美女了,說不定還會把你當作甘藍菜或是生菜!(大眾笑)
如果你們有養狗,就只用醋水來清洗牠們。假使你們的狗、貓或其他寵物是養在屋子裡,那最好只用醋水來清洗房子。如果偶爾想把房子清洗乾淨,又覺得醋水的清潔效果不夠的話,也可以使用必要的清潔劑,不過用完之後,必須再用清水徹底清洗一遍,這樣屋裡才不會殘留化學物質,否則可能會使你的狗和貓致命。雖然不致於馬上就害死牠們,但也會讓牠們痛苦好多年,牠們忍受不了那些化學物質!如果你聽得懂狗兒說話,牠們就會告訴你。
所以用醋水就夠了。當你想讓狗兒待在屋裡時,就用醋水各半的溶液來清洗牠的全身,用沾了醋水的濕毛巾清洗腳掌和其他部位,之後再用清水迅速清洗眼睛四周,以免醋水刺激到牠的眼睛。對於那些暴露在外的敏感部位和敏感的皮膚,必須立刻再用清水擦洗乾淨,牠們才不會感到刺痛,最好這樣做!如果你手邊真的沒有醋,也可以用嬰兒濕巾擦拭,不過擦完後也要馬上用清水再擦一次,這樣寵物身上才不會有任何的化學殘留物。

An Effective and Safe Disinfectant
for All Sentient Beings
Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Surrey, United Kingdom
January 2, 2006 (Originally in English)
I have some vinegar spray, just for washing hands for my dogs. And I take a bottle of half-water, half-vinegar with me all the time. Sometimes in the restaurant, I use it to wash my hands; spray it on my hands and then wipe it, and spray on the public utensils, to disinfect them. And wipe it off, and then it’s clean. You know, like a dry-cleaning system: “Zzzt…!” It helps, and there are no chemicals. Vinegar is harmless; you could eat it, so it doesn’t matter. I carry a little bottle all the time. You’ve learned another trick now!
And sometimes, you can spray around your window and so on. Or you spray some insect repellent, the non-toxic kind, around the window so insects don’t come through. Even mosquitoes stay away. The small insects stay away from your screen. But if you don’t have that, then you spray vinegar. It also helps because vinegar dispels all the smell, and they’re only attracted to smell. So instead of perfume, maybe you spray some vinegar, and then the mosquitoes won’t know if you’re a lettuce or a hot-blooded blonde. Maybe they think you’re a cabbage or a salad! (Laughter)
If you have dogs, clean them with vinegar water only. And if you have dogs or cats or pets in the house, clean your house only with vinegar and water mixed. Now and again, if you really want it clean and you don’t feel sure, then clean with whatever you have to. But afterwards, you have to clean with water throughout so that no more chemical residues are left in the house because you could kill your dogs or cats that way. Not killed immediately, but it would make them suffer for many years. They cannot bear it. If you can hear your dog, they will tell you.
So vinegar water, that’s all we want. Half-vinegar, half-water, to clean: Clean the dog’s body when you want to let them in the house. Clean the paws and everything with vinegar-water and a vinegar wet towel. And then after that, around the eyes, you have to clean quickly with water so it doesn’t smart their eyes. In the sensitive areas that have revealed or sensitive skin, then you have to clean it back with water immediately afterward so it takes away the sting. That’s the best! If you really cannot get vinegar on hand, you can use a baby wipe. But then wipe with water immediately after, so there are no more residues of the chemical, whatever it is.
