The main thing is to break down the bacteria. Vinegar works, but do you want your truck to smell like granny's water bottle?
"Yes, vinegar DOES kill many bacteria and viruses, including many very dangerous ones that can be in food such as E. Coli O157:H7. It is probably good to use in the kitchen and other places that you may be worried about harsher chemicals like bleach getting into food."
Pine sol is really crap in my book (no offense) but after using it for so long in the navy, it just really is a load of BS. Cover smell but nothing else and this proves what I figured on all those years.
"Pine sol actually does not kill bacteria...
it doesn't even inhibit the growth of bacteria at all.
in a recent experiment conducted. i tested 3 different concentrations of pine sol and compared it to bleach
at full concentration, pine sol didn't inhibit growth at all. whereas bleach completely killed it.
at 44% dilution, pine sol still hadn't stopped bacterial growth, whereas bleach still managed to kill of bacteria.
at 12.5% concentration, pine sol, had actually allowed the colonies of bacteria to grow even closer together to mimic the "lawned" streaks. bleach had still managed to kill bacteria at 12.5%
it should be kept in mind that in a standard lab, 10% bleach is used to sterilize and kill bacteria.
i hope that answers your question, pine sol, actually doesn't inhibit the growth, nor kills it, but allows it to grow"
Collidal or the stuff I put on will do it and smell better.
