We are all looking for ways to save money and have a safer, cleaner house at the same time. The fact is, you don't have to spend a lot of money on those expensive cleaners and disinfectants. All you have to do is buy a bottle of vinegar!
Did you know that vinegar kills 99% of bacteria, 82% of mold, and 80% of germs (viruses)? Kept in a simple spray bottle, a 5% vinegar solution will fit the bill for most of your cleaning and disinfecting jobs at home or in the office.
Heinz can’t claim the fact that vinegar is a disinfectant on their packaging, because they have not registered it as a pesticide with the Environmental Protection Agency. That shouldn't stop us all from utilizing what has long been known to homemakers across the world as our best low cost defense against the war on germs.
Some of the anti-bacterial and disinfecting cleansers and sponges on the market only are adding to the wrong side of the war against drug resistant germs. The germs are adapting to the chemicals used against them and make new and stronger germs all the time.
Keep a simple spray bottle full of 5% vinegar solution in your kitchen and bathroom. The smell of vinegar dissipates within a couple of hours. Vinegar works great on disinfecting counters and cutting boards, even the toilet! Spray your solution on the toilet and just wipe off. You score ONE and the germs ZERO!
