I found some answers to my questions. It looks like you can clean your whole house with vinegar - and it DISINFECTS! One of my concerns.
These are some of my favorites from vinegartips.com:
- White distilled vinegar is a popular household cleanser, effective for killing most mold, bacteria, and germs, due to its level of acidity. Cleaning with white distilled vinegar is a smart way to avoid using harsh chemicals. You’ll also be glad to know that it is environmentally friendly and very economical.
- Clean counter tops and make them smell sweet again with a cloth soaked in undiluted white distilled vinegar.
- To kill germs, spray full-strength white distilled vinegar on doorknobs and then wipe them dry.
- To clean and disinfect baby toys add a good-sized splash of white distilled vinegar to soapy water.
- Clean counter tops and make them smell sweet again with a cloth soaked in undiluted white distilled vinegar.

Girl... you are on a roll with your blogging! I'm impressed and have been enjoying you blog entries. I love what you have found out about vinegar. I have slowly (over the past 4 months) have been switching all of my cleaning products over to Melaleuka. So far I really like it! I'm curious what you find out in your research...
ReplyDeleteI've also been experimenting and using a lot of natural products, but some of the ones I've tried (like Imus) just don't work that well, so I'm considering making my own. Let me know how it goes!
