How Effective are the Both Products?

As a Disinfectant

Bleach:

         Chlorine bleach is an extremely effective germ killer. Sodium hypochlorite is proven to kill bacteria, fungi, viruses, molds and mildew. In fact, it is proven to kill 99.9% of all germs and bacteria. It is approved by the Enviromental Protection Agency for use in households, food processing plants, hospitals and animal facilities, along with many other facilities. 

Vinegar:

          Vinegar is not as effective as bleach and does not kill as many germs. However, vinegar does kill some things but is only 90% of bacteria 82% of molds and 80% of germs. But on the flip side it is much more cost effective.

Microbial Reductions

Bleach:

          Since household bleach is a better disinfectant,  it does a great job reducing microbes. Bleach effectively breaks apart the microbes making it easy to remove from surfaces. This explains why household bleach works very well for removing molds and mildews.

Vinegar:

          Vinegar also works well for removing microbes. Vinegar was determined as one of the most effective house hold cleaners with efficiency on microbial reduction (behind commercial cleaning agents). Vinegar reduces approximately 98% of microbes.

Pathogens

Bleach:

         Sodium hypochlorite found in household bleach is very strong against pathogens. It is able to help defend you household from harmful pathogens that can make you sick. When bleach reacts with other microbial cells it destroys pathogens.

Vinegar:

             Vinegar is also good at fighting pathogens, but not as good as bleach. Studies have shown that vinegar combined with hydrogen peroxide can effectively kill E.coli.
