Vingar for cleaning?

[encouraging loves animals]

I know alot of people recommend Vigar and Water for cleaning. However we were told to clean our tiles with vingar and water-However our brooms have plastic handles, and had caused one of the brooms to decompose! Additional our external house pipes and inside the drains are plastic.

We since stopped using it, and using pineoclean and water.

Hmm. I would think that if you dilute it enough and then spray/wipe quick enough, it wouldn't get to that point. I don't know though.
I use about 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water plus a drop of natural dish soap. Spray and wipe works so far. I'll keep in mind about plastic though. Thanks for posting.

I don't think vinegar should be used for cleaning.

vinegar doesn't de-compose plastic - it comes in plastic !

and it is 10,000,000,000 times better than bleach or chlorozx at kiling bacteria and mildew and fungus etc etc etc

it is very good cleaner. (but corporations lose a lot of money when people find out, including the pharmacy(a lot fewer people get sick when vinegar or colloidal cleaners are used) -- so the politically correct stance is to not use vinegar (even though many hospitals , ers, and ors, now use steamed vinegar to disinfect their hospital areas! )

I know this is an old post but using toothpaste on things is really good for cleaning and will leave it smelling great.

I use vinegar to clean with. It is an excellent cleaner but does stink but the smell evaporates very fast.

3 tsps of borax dissolved in 3 cups hot water and 3 Tbs vinegar in a spray bottle makes for a great all purpose cleaner. Far better than 409, believe me.

I use vinegar in a cleaning solution that I make with ammonia, dishwashing liquid and water. It is non-streak for windows!! Awesome stuff.

Be extremely careful not to mix ammonia with anything that contains bleach (or vice versa). Ammonia mixed with bleach forms an actual poison gas that can most definitely kill you. There have been people found dead in toilet bowls--seriously--because of that.

Yes, I would agree on that Mary-Ann, it is good indeed! I also tried it with baking soda

Add it to olive oil instead and then it's great on a salad!

Vinegar is a fantastic NATURAL cleaner ( NO chemicals) .It smells when wet but as soon as it dries the smell disappears. I use scrunched up newspaper to wipe the vinegar off my windows and mirrors .

I use it with baking soda for the sinks , shower stall and toilet.Superb indeed .

I also , use it as a mouth wash which works well for me . It bothers others though I think it may be allergies?

I love using vinegar for cleaning. Other than the smell (which I actually don't mind) I've never really understood people paying so much for fancy cleaning products, when diluted vinegar works just as well.

Vinegar doesn't erode plastic--at least not the plastic of 40 years ago---I was a respiratory therapist back then--that was in the days of non disposable tubing and we had to sanitize everything with vinegar--soaked everything at end of shift for 30 min. Didn't harm them at all. It was a pain, we hated it. I remember the first time they brought in disposable tubing--we danced for joy! C-Pap equipment today, at home, is cleaned in vinegar.
