Vinegar is a mainstay of the old folk recipes for cleaning, and with good reason. The vim of the vinegar is that it kills bacteria, mold and germs.
Heinz company spokesperson Michael Mullen references numerous studies to show that a straight 5 percent solution of vinegar-thekind you can buy in the supermarket-kills 99 percent of bacteria, 82 percent of mold, and 80 percent of germs (viruses). He noted that Heinz can't claim on their packaging that vinegar is a disinfectant since the company has not registered it as a pesticide with the Environmental Protection Agency. However, it seems to be common knowledge in the industry that vinegar is powerfully antibacterial. Even the CBS news show "48 Hours" had a special years ago with Heloise reporting on tests from The Good Housekeeping Institute that showed this.
Just like antibiotics, common disinfectants found in sponges and household sprays may contribute to drug resistant bacteria, according to researchers of drug resistance at Tufts New England Medical Center. Furthermore, research at the Government Accounting Office shows that many commercial disinfectants are ineffective to begin with, just like antibiotics.
Keep a clean spray bottle filled with straight 5 percent vinegar in your kitchen near your cutting board, and in your bathroom, and use them for cleaning. I often spray the vinegar on our cutting board before going to bed at night, and don't even rinse, but let it set overnight. The smell of vinegar dissipates within a few hours. Straight vinegar is also great for cleaning the toilet rim. Just spray it on and wipe off.

Do gamma rays kill organisms that spoil food?
Yes, gamma rays can kill organisms that spoil food by damaging their DNA and preventing their ability to reproduce. In food irradiation, gamma rays are used to kill bacteria, parasites, and molds that cause food spoilage and contamination, extending the shelf life of the food.
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?

How are gamma rays used in radiotherapy?
Gamma rays are used in radiotherapy to target and kill cancer cells. The high-energy gamma rays are directed at the tumor site to destroy cancer cells and shrink the tumor. This targeted approach helps minimize damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
Which has a higher frequency gamma rays or xrays?
Gamma rays have a higher frequency than X-rays. Gamma rays are the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum, whereas X-rays have a lower frequency than gamma rays.
What is one use of gamma rays?

What are the disadvantages and advantages of gamma-ray?
Gamma rays are the highest forms of electromagnetic radiation. They are a type of ionizing radiation, and they can damage tissue. This can lead to radiation sickness or, in sufficient doses, it can kill. --------------------------------------------------------------- Gamma Rays are able to kill living cells so it's used as medicine to kill cancerous cells. If there's an overdose though, it could kill you. It is a hazardous radiation so if you're not specialized in it, then DO NOT mess with Gamma Rays because again, too much could kill you.
