Can you kill flu virus with vinegar?

Answer 1

Yes. According to the CDC, alcohol hand sanitizers used properly will kill flu viruses. I don't think you need to clean surfaces with alcohol. Other surface sanitizers can do that job. See Related Links. The CDC is careful to state that 60% alcohol sanitizers are effective....HOWEVER, many of these products contain as little as 40% alcohol and are not any more effective than plain tap water. There is nothing as effective for "public health" as plenty of plain old soap with lots of warm water to carry the virus bugs down the drain.

Answer 2

Killing Swine Flu with vinegar is surprisingly a case where the wives' tale corresponds directly with science.

Vinegar has several unique properties which give it the ability to kill the flu virus with the correct mixing and application.

For one, vinegar has a PH of 2.1 whereas the microbial strain of flu virus that is carried within the blood has a PH of 6.6. Anytime PHs that drastic are mixed a chemology is observed of 3.4. Chemology concerns mixing and primarily mixing between two polar microbial liquids in a blank status stasis. Any chemology over 3.0 results in a cataclysmic destruction of the urvanostrical virus and a banishment to the underchemolosmical wasteland of viruses.

Answer 3

Technically the flu virus is not alive, so it can't be killed. However, you can destroy the virus easily - any commercial cleaner (think Lysol, Pine-Sol, bleach, ammonia, etc) destroys the outer capsule, as does soap and warm water.

Answer 4

Yes. There ways to kill flu viruses, sickness and cold.

No. Viruses are not even alive, so they cannot killed, but some can be rendered inactive.
