    Dawn dish soap cuts grease, soap, scum. Vinegar disinfects and deodorizes.

    Vinegar is a natural acid, so it helps break down mineral deposits and helps kill bio film (slime, sludge).

    Dish soap breaks the surface water tension (surfactants) and allows whatever is in the water to adhere to and penetrate the object.

    If you combine the two, in the right mix, then it can be more effective at cleaning certain things.

    Vinegar and dish soap are often combined to clean anything in the home or out doors. If you add Epsom salts you can also use it for a weed killer (careful, it kills any plant). The dish soap (Dawn is best) cuts grease and dirt while the vinegar kills germs and also deodorizes.

      Epsom salt helps improve flower blooming and enhances a plant’s green color. It can even help plants grow bushier. Epsom salt is made up of hydrated magnesium sulfate (magnesium and sulfur), which is important to healthy plant.

      I have seen so many posts about vinegar and soap to kill weeds. I have repeatedly sprayed weeds in my driveway and they do not die.

      Agricultural vinegar is much stronger (30%) and should kill the weeds but is very strong to breath.

    First, both ingredients are excellent at dissolving tough grime. However, vinegar alone will simply run off of most surfaces, while dish soap is too thick to use as a spray. But when you mix them together, you get an effective, sprayable cleaner that sticks to any surface!
