[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, really?  You people don't use Clorox?

Sheesh.

The joke's on you though -- you are afraid of bleach but your house is full of bacteria.[/quote]

Actually, a study at VA Tech showed that spraying a surface with vinegar and then spraying it with hydrogen peroxide (on top of the vinegar, or vice-versa) actually killed MORE bacteria than chlorox/bleach.

Apparently, the joke is on you ;-)[/quote]

Some environmental groups advocate "environmentally safe" products as alternatives to commercial germicides in the home-care setting. These alternatives (e.g., ammonia, baking soda, vinegar, Borax, liquid detergent) are not registered with EPA and should not be used for disinfecting because they are ineffective against S. aureus. Borax, baking soda, and detergents also are ineffective against Salmonella Typhi and E.coli; however, undiluted vinegar and ammonia are effective against S. Typhi and E.coli 53, 332, 333. Common commercial disinfectants designed for home use also are effective against selected antibiotic-resistant bacteria 53.[/quote]
