This video is all about vinegar!
I tested, with sterile swabs and Petri dishes, various surfaces around my home to see how well vinegar removes bacteria. I tested full strength vinegar, 50/50 vinegar with dish soap, and 50/50 vinegar with water.

I grew up in an ethnically diverse neighborhood, lots of WWII immigrants, so the smell of vinegar was everywhere. It was cheap, it was handy, and those older women used it to clean and deodorize anything/everything. What you've done here has proven those ladies right...and I'm grateful!

I think on the toilet the soap helps the vinegar solution “stick” to the surface and also scrub and rinse away any remaining live bacteria. And because it’s perpendicular to the ground, it doesn’t have as long of contact with the product versus the sink etc. That’s my unscientific theory lol

Had a tenant that apparently never cleaned her shower stall for the sux years she was there. I tried about 7-10 different products to remove the crust.

Although incubating at 37C will select for organisms and potential pathogens which may inhabit the human and mammalian skin and gut, incubating for longer periods at room temperatures (varying between 12C - 24C) may select for the organisms that proliferate best on surfaces around your home, such as surface moulds and bacteria on walls and tiles (especially grout between tiles) subject to condensation, and incubating at 4C (for even longer!) will select for food spoilage psychrophiles that may inhabit your fridge and larder. Room temperature organisms can also proliferate in occasionally used dried herbs, spices, flours, sugars, teas, etc., and pet treats, dry foods and bird seed may introduce unwanted mites that can spread through kitchens, as they swarm and migrate, so always keep in sealed vermin-proof containers. There may also be extremophiles living in washing machines, dishwashers, microwave and conventional ovens, grills, air fryers, and bread makers. It's a jungle in there!

Baking Soda neutralizes the acidity of the vinegar. The bubbles look great, but you just killed vinegar's cleaning power. Learned this early on in high school - auto shop and chemistry class.

I've been using the vinegar-water solution with good results. I like that it's both effective and no-rinse. It's easy for me to see that it's working in the kitchen area where odors can quickly develop. A quick spray to the sink keeps it clean longer. Also, the dish rag. It can host odor-forming bacteria that is resistant to washing. But rags used to wipe away vinegar solution never develop odors.

Observation Worth Noting: Because some of the Vinegar + Water situations (sinks+) did not work as well? It seems wise to make sure the sink is reasonably dry before cleaning it with vinegar. (Often folks clean the sink after doing dishes. But if the sink is very wet… the full strength of the vinegar may be a little less. I mean, it won’t be a 50/50 dilution of course. Just thinking aloud that the most effective clean will be when the sink is dry. Maybe I’m being silly.

I toured a large slaughterhouse (I know but hear me out) once and they told us they used vinegar to clean their entire facility each night, that it was tested to be even more effective than bleach because it can help avoid creating biofilms. They even randomly test all the surfaces each day for bacterial cultures as well to head off any infection. They even have an in-house microbiologist! I’ve been using vinegar in the kitchen ever since. Personally I make a homemade cleaning spray that is about: 22 oz vinegar 2 oz concentrated plant-based all-purpose cleaner 1 oz Castile soap 1/4 oz Plant-based dish soap I’ll tell you what. That stuff cleans better than any spray I’ve ever bought in the store. We have a 1.5yo so I do a LOT of cleaning lol. I like to put this baking soda on the counter, I add peppermint essential oils to it. Sprinkle it on the counter and spray the vinegar spray. Can do a bit of water first and use it to scrub anything off the surface. The vinegar makes it bubble and is goood for scrubbing g together, the little one like a it too. Wipe it up and you have a wonderfully clean and fresh surface.

I add lemongrass to mine. We had problems with gnats last spring and they don’t like the smell of lemongrass. Lemongrass is in a lot of bug sprays that don’t use chemicals, so I like using it to clean my floors and pretty much everything.

@xjjfjfdjdh9993bbhhhh5hjjjjd 7 дней назад

One thing you might want to account for in future videos is that the first swab can mechanically remove bacteria on its own. One way to partially account for this is to have a fourth space in the petri dish and only clean half of the initial swabbed area. Do the second swab in the clean area, and do a third swab in the "uncleaned" area (area that only had the first swab and no cleaning). It would be difficult for you to truly account for how well you swab one side versus the other from a mechanical force perspective. Another thing to test with these is just water and scrubbing on its own. You could try to scrub purposefully harder on the water one or swab hard to see how much it makes a difference. If you really wanted to get into it, you probably need some sort of pressure meter. Yep, a rabbit hole. However, your tests still prove how effective these methods are for controlling bacteria, so still awesome work! Thank you for sharing it!

Many soaps are salts of carboxylic acids. Vinegar is a 4% (or more in "cleaning" mixtures) solution of a 2-carbon carboxylic acid. If you mix vinegar with soap, you will partially reprotonate the soap to make lipids (read fats). Keep vinegar separate from soap. Bleach is a different story, as it is alkaline.

Hello. Please also do varying ratio of dish soap and vinegar solution to test the lowest or highest soap to vinegar ratio till it becomes ineffective or more effective. I want to know the most effective recipe in terms of using vinegar and soap without using excessive soap. Also what if water is also added in the mix in a cost efficient ratio? Will it lower effectiveness? And what if the vinegar solution is used as a rinsing agent after using soap instead? Will that be as effective as well? In what ratio will it lend most effective/useless? I would also love to see how vinegar pairs well with laundry detergent in the wash (premixing them like you did here then another where the vinegar is added during rinse cycle instead). I am impressed with the results of the vinegar dish soap solution and would love to see more of it. I hope you will test more vinegar solutions since it is the go to pet and kid safe cleaner.

I’ve found this combo works wonders cleaning baked on food residue from my smooth ceramic/glass electric stove top. I gave it a go when everyone I asked about the best way to clean it, told me I needed to buy some chemical cleaner made specifically for these kind of cooking surfaces due to their high propensity to scratch. Having to depend on some manufactured specialized cleaner seemed to scream expensive! Along w/the expense was everything that goes w/a specialized product. Like it not being widely available etc. There was also resentment re: what seemed to possibly be yet another unnecessary manufactured consumer “necessity” designed w/the sole intention of parting people from their hard earned money & keeping it instead rolling in to the corporate coffers! After having had a great deal of success using the recommended vinegar & baking soda combo to clean my mother’s beloved roaster oven w/no damage, I decided to try it on my newly acquired stovetop. Sometimes it takes a couple go rounds, but it does work beautifully. I simply pour the vinegar directly onto the now encrusted cooked on mess then immediately pour on the baking soda. I’ve learned it tends to work even better if I leave the pasty combo on the stain for a number of minutes before beginning to gently rub in circles then rinse/wipe off, rinse. Repeat as necessary.
