I am told hot vinegar will kill weeds. Ingrid

Hello all,
I am a first-time homeowner and have a question about weeds.
I am also a total novice to gardening and lawn-care.
My house has a cement patio area which surrounds the back side of the
house, as well as a small brick areain the patio. My problem is that
there are weeds growing up through cracks in the cement and bricks.
I went to my local Home Depot's garden section and and they had several
kinds of weed killers for this type of thing, but I read the labels
and they all sounded very toxic.
They did say it was safe after the formula had dried, thouigh.
I have dogs so this obviously concerns me.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
I don't have any idea what kind of weeds they are. They are green,
tall, and kind of thin,with sort of frilly leaves, but no flowers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Darren
