Although Vinegar inst a fully-fledged cleaning product it does kill bacteria like E Coli and Salmonella. The very two bacteria can turn profitable restaurants and food chains into something very different. Here are a few suggestions to clean things with vinegar.
If you have some baking soda, vinegar, and lemon juice this is all you need for a great cleaning product. You can add soap however make sure it’s the environmentally safe one first!
Mix the vinegar, lemon juice, and baking soda in a bottle and grab yourself a sponge.
For the bathroom and whiteware, the baking soda will act as the scrubbing agent while the vinegar will remove the dirt and grime. Grab your sponge and use the mixture on your bathroom and kitchen surfaces and scrub clean. While the vinegar has a harsh smell this is usually countered by the amount of lemon juice you put in.

For tougher stains and marks these will need to be soaked and left for a few minutes so that the vinegar can lift off the bacteria and make it an easy clean.
