HI,
I've been cleaning with vinegar and water, but today I mixed some apple cider vinegar also. I was just wondering if that was safe. Thanks Marshall

Why?????? That sounds harsh to me. Hot water and a mild soap. Then rinse it. It has worked for me for years.
Just my deal.

I've always used a mixture of approximately
5% bleach, 5% rubbing alcohol, 90% water.
Worked for years, never a problem, and definately no vinegar smell!
I personally would not use vinegar.

Just my $.02

Thanks, Joe Rollo - BciJoe

I consider the bleach as simply a disinfectant and the alcohol as more of a cleanser. It also helps mask the odor and dry quicker with less odor overall, in my opinion.
I may have not been able to clean something at one time or another with just the bleach, and to be effective, I didn't want to use to much, so I added the alcohol which helped, again, in my opinion.

Again I use extremely little of both with lots of water and it has been doing the trick for several years now.

Thanks, take care - Joe

I'm pretty sure bleach and alcohol mixed produces choline gas.. very toxic. Probably harmless in an aquious solution but I wouldn't mix them directly. I'm still thinking about the hogg, Joe.
