I like it cause it kills germs & I can spray it all over everything.
Is there something safe & natural I can use in it's place??
Thank you for your time & responses. I hope to learn much here!!!!!

Spraying surfaces with vinegar and peroxide, one after the other, is supposed to kill more germs than bleach. I think that there was a study done at VA Tech that proved this. You just have to make sure to keep the peroxide in a dark bottle/place as it will lose it's potency with prolonged exposure to light. I don't worry too much about killing germs here - they builld immunity doncha know . I mostly clean with soap and water. HTH

I just use vinegar mixed with water to clean. For tougher stains, I use a baking soda scrub.

But, I am not at all concerned with germs. I think all that anti-bacterial stuff is no good for people. Normal exposure to germs builds a healthy immune system.

I'm anaphylactically allergic to Lysol. Weird, huh?

We use white vinegar, baking soda, hot water, and essential oils to clean just about everything. Sometimes I use a hydrogen peroxide bleach (instead of chlorine bleach), if something is really icky.

I'm speaking also of those germs that the kids bring home from school. the Virus's & other Nasty things they bring home. Will the peroxcide help that too?

What do you all do about Virus's????(do we work up immunities to those too?)
