There are endless uses for distilled white vinegar – from cooking with it to giving your hair extra shine to disinfecting your counters.
At a cost of a couple of pennies per use, this is the biggest bang for your buck as well as a safe and non-toxic way to keep your home clean.

Hi Laura,
Just a note: vinegar is not an effective disinfectant. If you use 2X strength vinegar (6% acetic acid) with a dwell time of 30 min, you will get some sanitation (not complete disinfection), but otherwise, it’s not even close to using a quaternary ammonium cleaner or a weak bleach solution – especially for food contact surfaces.
otherwise, great video
Great info Chad! You are correct, vinegar will not disinfect to the degree that a bleach solution will, especially when it comes to areas that may have been contaminated with food/meats such as a cutting board. Thanks for the clarification!
Here is another great use for it: Mix one gallon of white vinegar with two cups of Epsom Salt and 1/4 cup of Dawn detergent and shake well. Put it in a spray bottle and use it to kill weeds. Works just as good as Roundup.
Thanks Joe! Another excellent use and non-toxic too!
