Vinegar
Kills Bacteria, Mold and Germs
Vinegar
is a mainstay of the old folk recipes for cleaning, and with
good reason. The vim of the vinegar is that it kills bacteria,
mold, and germs.
Heinz
company spokesperson Michael Mullen references numerous studies
to show that a straight 5 percent solution of vinegar-such
as you can buy in the supermarket-kills 99 percent of bacteria,
82 percent of mold, and 80 percent of germs (viruses). He noted
that Heinz can't claim on their packaging that vinegar is a
disinfectant since the company has not registered it as a pesticide
with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). However, it
seems to be common knowledge in the industry that vinegar is
powerfully antibacterial. Even the CBS news show 48 Hours had
a special last December with Heloise reporting on tests from
The Good Housekeeping Institute that showed this.
Just
like antibiotics, common disinfectants found in sponges and
household sprays may contribute to drug resistant bacteria,
according to researchers of drug resistance at Tufts New England
Medical Center. Furthermore, research at the Government Accounting
Office shows that many commercial disinfectants are ineffective
to begin with, just like antibiotics
Keep
a clean spray bottle filled with straight 5 percent vinegar
in your kitchen near your cutting board, and in your bathroom,
and use them for cleaning. I often spray the vinegar on our
cutting board before going to bed at night, and don't even
rinse, but let it set overnight. The smell of vinegar dissipates
within a few hours. Straight vinegar is also great for cleaning
the toilet rim. Just spray it on and wipe off.
