I recommend using vinegar as a household cleaner.  It is a natural, safer, effective alternative to household bleach.  It is an effective household cleaner that is able to kill 99% of bacteria, 82% of molds and 80% of germs.  It is also much safer than household bleach.  On the Wilson risk scale a 5% solution acetic acid, the active ingredient of vinegar, is a 0 out of 4, while the active ingredient of bleach sodium hypochlorite is a 3 out of 4.  it is also much less harmful to our airways and is odorless when it dries.  In addition, it is much less reactive than sodium hypochlorite.  On the Wilson risk scale sodium hypochlorite is a 2, while acetic acid is a 0 out of 4.  It is much less likely for vinegar to react unwontedly to another chemical that you use in your home.  Environmentally, vinegar is much safer.  It degrades quickly in the environment into a harmless substance, that poses no risk to wildlife or the ecosystem. Vinegar is a safer, more environmentally friendly product that is effective as a household cleaner.
