What the title says. Sure, it’s gentle on the environment, but it doesn’t remove soap scum, grease, grime etc anywhere nearly as effective as other products. I also doubt its efficiency as an antibacterial compared to say alcohol or most detergents.
There, I’ve said it.
I’ve been cleaning with vinegar and dish soap for a year (mostly for my cats) and the last few weeks I’ve decided to ditch it.
I’m a clean freak and have never had so much trouble keeping spiders, fruitflies and insects out of the house. I’m back to buying specific cleaners for specific things and my god does it make a difference. Never again.
funny. I just set up a vinegar+sugar trap for fruit flies in my apartment. I think it attracts those insects since it’s basically rotting food
Yes, those work very well. But after a month or two, they always came back. So this time I used the trap for weeks, in the meantime using specific agents to clean and I’ve noticed they die faster.
I don’t know, maybe they’re attracted to the vinegar afterwards when used for cleaning? That’s my only guess. It’s weird, but I’ll see the results in a few months.
