It sanitizes and neutralizes the odor vinegar leaves behind. By the way, I read one of the best ways to make sure all bacteria is clean from your cutting boards is to first wash with vinegar, and repeat with hydrogen peroxide. Cleans better than dishwashing detergent/liquid.

The dish soap that smells like 'Grapefruit' or 'Mountain Breeze' — it smells like chemical urine, and makes my dishes, hands, and kitchen smell awful. I have to spend several minutes in the soap aisle every time I buy more so I can make sure I don't get the smelly stuff. You know what I hate?

It was the ONLY thing that took out the contruction dust (drywall dust from sanding) after 4 attempts with regular floor cleaner. Now I use it all the time for regular cleaning.

It doesn't have the foaming agents that dish soap has so it doesn't need as much rinsing. Oh, and I recommend Dr. Bronner’s over dish soap.

It saves a crapload of money, and works *great*. You just need to adjust your frame of reference for what clean smells like, cuz it ain't pine. I do this.
