So I decided to take the vinegar plunge for cleaning. I discovered I hated the smell. SO I added a smidgen of oil, I now had oily floors. Then I tried lemon, I had sticky floors. So I hit on soap. Dish soap. It still smells like vinegar, with a hint of umm soap.
anyway, it works, the floors and such are clean, I can let the kids clean without worry of strange chemicals, until one fateful day.
I ran out of vinegar, really you can go thru that stuff quite fast when you use it to clean most things most days. So I went back to bleach. The first day I used bleach three nails on one hand cracked split and tore, and two on the other! Plus my excema went from annoying to painful.
I managed to get more vinegar today, and I hope my hands will recover soon.
I think vinegar has more benefits than price for cleaning!
Took one day to ruin my nails...

What is your vinegar - water ratio and what do you use it on? Just curious as we're trying to do away with cleaning chemicals due to one of our child's asthma.
