Clearing the Air with Vinegar

In the winter months the air inside our homes becomes very polluted. Putting vinegar in water and setting it on a woodburning stove puts vinegar in the air to kill bacteria floating in the air.

RE: Clearing the Air with Vinegar

My husband and I are both smokers. I know you all can imagine the smell of accumulated smoke. I soak very thin cotton handkerchiefs in vinegar, thumbtack them to the blades of our ceiling fans, one for each blade, use the lowest setting and wash our air. It does an incredible job.

My family takes turns hosting our annual Christmas get together. They aren't smokers, but when they came to us for our turn they were truly amazed at the complete lack of a smoke smell. Patti

Enough of the sarcastic, unnecessary commentary showing up on too many feedbacks!

RE: Clearing the Air with Vinegar

Do you have any references to studies that prove this Jill? Its an interesting and logical sounding idea but a)does it work and b) if it does, does reducing air borne bacteria have any effect on the level of illness in the household?

Regards
