The Benefits
Costs less than a handmade olive-leaf crown. We found a 32-ounce bottle of white vinegar at the supermarket for just over a buck; the same size bottle of all-purpose cleaner was four times that (and you'll dilute the vinegar for most purposes).
Treating kids like emperors. Conventional cleaning products are responsible for about 10% of toxic-exposure calls to poison control.
Not stabbing our rivers in the back. High concentrations of detergents were found in 69% of waterways in a 2002 nationwide study.
Smelling better than an ancient Roman. The vinegar smell disappears when it dries; it even acts as a mild deodorizer.

I have a special trick with vinegar too, I put just a tad of it in my carpet shampooer. It really helps take out the odorrs and perk up the carpet. It may not be recommended by the manufacturer, but it really works.
