Testing Vinegar! What Removes Bacteria Better:Full Strength, 50/50 Dish Soap or 50/50 Water??

#cleaning #bacteria #realworldresults #disinfect #sanitize
This video is all about vinegar!
I tested, with sterile swabs and Petri dishes, various surfaces around my home to see how well vinegar removes bacteria. I tested full strength vinegar, 50/50 vinegar with dish soap, and 50/50 vinegar with water.

Hello. Please also do varying ratio of dish soap and vinegar solution to test the lowest or highest soap to vinegar ratio till it becomes ineffective or more effective. I want to know the most effective recipe in terms of using vinegar and soap without using excessive soap. Also what if water is also added in the mix in a cost efficient ratio? Will it lower effectiveness? And what if the vinegar solution is used as a rinsing agent after using soap instead? Will that be as effective as well? In what ratio will it lend most effective/useless? I would also love to see how vinegar pairs well with laundry detergent in the wash (premixing them like you did here then another where the vinegar is added during rinse cycle instead). I am impressed with the results of the vinegar dish soap solution and would love to see more of it. I hope you will test more vinegar solutions since it is the go to pet and kid safe cleaner. I would love to see it tested on porous materials as well. It would be interesting to see how dish soap and vinegar is effective at disinfecting toilet brush as well. Thank you so much for this channel; I can now sleep soundly at night using vinegar and dish soap! 😅😮

[@carolstella6776]

With so many options for cleaners, it really does get confusing at times deciding what to use where! You always wonder if it really does disinfect or not. I try to narrow down how many different cleaners I have in my house, but that’s not always easy since the bathroom and kitchen are entirely different surfaces. While I’ve always thought bleach was the best disinfect, it’s not an option for my granite countertops or stainless sink. 🙃 So… the search continues. Thanks for the interesting facts on the vinegar!

[@FieldOfFocus]

Hi there! I am so gad my channel is helpful! I am glad you noted that some cleaners work better in different locations. I have had some people argue with me that my results are wrong because a cleaner does well in the kitchen but not the bathroom and vice versa. I have a long list of products to test so check back once in a while to see how it is going! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@BelindaTN]

Why can't you use bleach on granite and stainless steel sinks? I have done this. Is it damaging to it? I know that vinegar is not an option for granite, because it is acidic and damages natural stone.

[@carolstella6776]

@@BelindaTN Bleach is not recommended for either one. It can destroy the protective layer on either one, and can sometimes change the color on granite. While you will always find differing opinions, I opt to play it safe.

[@chicagorhtours]

@@FieldOfFocus Yes, that makes sense... in a perfect world. But also in a "Perfect" world our government would use our "National Defense" $ trillion budget to defend our Nation, defend our borders instead of invading pretty much every country, jumping in to every tribal dispute in the world. Illegal immigration is by definition "illegal" yet we had over 300,000 illegal aliens INVADE our country from Mexico in November 2023 that's just in one month! We have huge migrant populations here in Chicago, they haven't been vaccinated in anything - there are now measles and TB outbreaks. Yes, as you say if things were sensible the board of health in Chicago would check every bar and restaurant for germs, cleanliness, but in a sensible world our $8 billion a year public schools would do a decent job of educating poor Chicago young people. They don't. So right now there is no board of health monitoring this/these bars. I want to help at least one stay clean and open. Just as I try to "Save" individual students trying to survive in Chicago public schools or just in life. So is there a way I could do the tests you do in my home and in the bar. What do I need for the incubator.

I read briefly that vinegar and hydrogen peroxide mix will produce a toxic odor or something bad. Please check before mixing!

[@kimberlindy]

Mixing hydrogen peroxide with vinegar creates peracetic acid, a corrosive acid that can harm the skin, eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. While it’s okay to use the two in succession on a surface, don’t ever mix hydrogen peroxide and vinegar in the same bottle.

@FieldOfFocus thankyou for replying! 😊 they are really good videos. And also thanks for taking my suggestion. I had told someone about this video and they asked if you did eucalyptus essential oil? so that might be a good idea also :) (and I'm not sure how big your list is... but a future idea if interested: antibacterial hand wash/or even dish soap vs normal non antibacterial version. I look forward to watching more :) ❤️

Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed it!

[@lsb8684]

And what about water + baking soda ? 🤔

[@FieldOfFocus]

I haven't tested it but will add it to my viewer suggestion list!

[@georgeton4991]

Please test ACETONE solution. Thanks

[@FieldOfFocus]

I will add it to my viewer suggestion list. Do you clean with acetone? How do you dilute it? Thanks for watching!

[@georgeton4991]

@@FieldOfFocus nope only use to remove glues etc

[@FieldOfFocus]

@georgeton4991 ok! Like I did in this video.. sounds good! Which works better? Bissell Power Steamer, Goo Gone, Goof Off, or Lemon Essential Oil?? kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZvEhYKDnLhjbZI

Acetone is toxic, I wouldn't use it in my house. Fingernail polish has a little acetone, but full strength is dangerous over time.

I’m guessing that your toilet rim has more bacteria that is more resistant to the vinegar.

[@FieldOfFocus]

Thanks for your thoughts!

[@gerryattrik4410]

What if you didn’t wait 5 min before wiping and testing? Usually I spray and wipe right away 🤔

[@FieldOfFocus]

That is a great suggestion for another test! Thanks!

[@danifranc7011]

Good question

[@coffeewithgays]

Is it just the type of bacteria on the toilet vs the other services?

[@FieldOfFocus]

It is very possible. There are different types of bacteria in different locations. So possible that a product works well with one type of bacteria for exaple in the kitchen, but not in the bathroom. Thanks for watching!
