What the title says. Sure, it’s gentle on the environment, but it doesn’t remove soap scum, grease, grime etc anywhere nearly as effective as other products. I also doubt its efficiency as an antibacterial compared to say alcohol or most detergents.

There, I’ve said it.

    Fair enough, I guess the topic was about cleaning and not so much cooking but I get that. Rice vinegar is milder in scent. Do you also reject apple vinegar, balsamic and other varieties (as a food?)

      I do similarly dislike apple cider vinegar but I do actually like balsamic, especially real balsamic (I know, expensive taste). That being said it does have to be used carefully, I generally dislike when it’s used “raw” and the vinegar isn’t cooked off, like in salad. It is ok when drizzled in small quantities over certain pasta dishes. I do actually enjoy balsamic vinegar as a glaze for meats as they go into the oven or as a marinade before being fried/sauteed.

      Other than that and rice vinegar I pretty much reject vinegars as food and detergent. They do make good mild rust removers but I always quarantine and shun those to the deepest bowels of the garage, unlikely to terrorize me.
