20th Day, 20th Way

20.  Switch a chemical cleaner with vinegar
Open the cabinet that holds your cleaning supplies and count the number of different products you use.  Is it over 10?  Did you know that you can get rid of almost all of them and replace them with white distilled vinegar?  Because of the acidity level in vinegar it kills most germs, bacterias and molds.  There are a thousand different uses for vinegar.  Today's challenge is to switch at least one of your chemical cleaning products with vinegar.
