Having read some where that vinegar is less toxic to the environment than commercial household cleaners, I bought a 5 litre jug of it for $2.79 at BJ’s the other day.
Then found pages of encomiums celebrating the humble stuff on the Frugal Living website.
For example, this is equivalent to that expensive Pergo cleaner. Just spray it on the floor and mop:
1/3 part white vinegar
1/3 part rubbing alcohol
1/3 part water
3 drops diswashing liquid
