I don't buy store bought cleaners (with the exception of dish soap), I prefer to use homemade cleaners instead of harsh chemicals. My favorite way to clean is my vinegar "multi-purpose solution". I use it on my counter tops, the the bathroom & everywhere in between!
I just measure equal parts water & distilled vinegar into a spray bottle. Tada! You have a multi-purpose solution.
Worried about the smell? Don't worry once the vinegar evaporates the smell will be gone!
Here are a few things a read about cleaning with vinegar:
"White vinegar is often used as a household cleaning agent. Because it is acidic, it can dissolve mineral deposits from glass, coffee makers, and other smooth surfaces.[46] For most uses dilution with water is recommended for safety and to avoid damaging the surfaces being cleaned.
Vinegar is an excellent solvent for cleaning epoxy resin and hardener, even after the epoxy has begun to harden. Malt vinegar sprinkled onto crumpled newspaper is a traditional, and still-popular, method of cleaning grease-smeared windows and mirrors in the UK.[47] Vinegar can be used for polishing brass or bronze.
Vinegar has some antibacterial properties,[48] though these are too weak or inconsistent for it to be used effectively as a disinfectant.[49]
Recently, vinegar has been marketed as a green solution for many household cleaning problems. For example, vinegar has been cited recently as an eco-friendly urine cleaner for pets and as a weed killer.[50][51]"
- Wikipedia
"A variety of commercial household disinfectants were highly effective against potential bacterial pathogens. The natural products were less effective than commercial household disinfectants. Only Clorox and Lysol disinfectant were effective against poliovirus." - Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology
Sustained transmission of polio only exist in four countries today (India, Pakistan, Nigeria, & Afghanistan). Just a little tid bit in case that last part had you scared.
ANYWHO! I like cleaning with vinegar, no harsh chemicals for my baby to breathe & it seems to get the job done. Plus its only like $1.22 for a gallon and it seems to last me about a month :)
