I use vinegar for cleaning my house. It is good getting soap scum water spots off counter-tops and chrome in the kitchen and bathrooms. Sometimes I mix baking soda and vinegar together it is good too. Vinegar alone does not disinfect I read where vinegar and hydrogen peroxide is a good disinfectant. I have clean houses and offices for many year. For my own home I am trying to get away from chemicals and using natural products like vinegar and baking soda and lemon juice.
