    I have been using vinegar for cleaning for many years, as many of my age group have. I really like your idea of adding lemon which makes it more acidic I think it is interesting that "suddenly" the makers of vinegar have noticed us. So now, they are making a "cleaning vinegar" which I'm told costs almost twice as much as the good old standard. It is said to be more acidic. Your solution works very well for me. Also, there is nothing wrong with the vinegar we have been using for a very long time.

    I haven't tried it with ammonia, so I can't say for sure. I have only used the good ol' cheap white vinegar.

    A 98 year old woman I took care of many years ago made me clean EVERYTHING with vinegar..She told me "I lived through the depression, and when you don't have anything, you compromise. Her home smelled like vinegar, but it sparkled.

    Considering this because my youngest daughter has asthma and many cleaning products trigger her attacks. Does vinegar do well attacking germs and viruses?

    My daughter has asthma as well. I have used this, along with other home-made cleaners, and they have all worked very well!

    My daughter found a recipe for homemade cleaner. U use oranges instead of lemons. We followed the directions and was very disappointed. Whemn we took lid off of container, the smell was awful. Smelled like something rotten. I did clean great but couldn't get past the smell so i dumped some baking soda in it and shook it and let it sit. Believe it or not, it helped take that terrible smell away. Glad to see this one with lemons, it will probably not do the dame thing as the oranged. Can't wait to try it.
