I wouldn't think that vinegar would be potent enough to kill the bacteria and germs. There's a big difference between sanitizing, cleaning and disinfecting.


Besides, most any vet will tell you, even w/a 1:10 bleach solution, the bleach has to be in contact with the surface 5 min or more to do any good. With THAT (I'm NOT a patient person, with a VERY busy life) and b/c of the smell and hassle of rinsing and then letting it outgas, I switched to the chlorohexadine.

U can buy a bottle of the 2% chlorohexadine gluconate solution and mix it up for A LOT of cleaning solution. Not as inexpensive, but it's much easier and faster to use.
