Default Vinegar weedkiller?

The message
from beretta8 contains these words:

I've used white vinegar along with a pound of table salt, mixed together
with several drops of dish washing liquid. Although it must be
sunny when its applied and no rain forecasted for a day
or 2, Ive found it works and its cheap. Just watch where you
spray it since it will kill anything green.


It will also clean the cruddy stains off glass - got a nice decanter
with a dull bloom inside? A week with salt and vinegar in it should
restore it to it's pristine crystal glitter - always assuming it had any
in the first place.

Also cleans metals - but as the acid and base radicals in solution
effectively produce hydrochloric acid, keep an eye on progress!
