100% pure glacial acetic acid will work even better. ;-)

You do realise that cheap "white vinegar" *is* a simple chemical made
in an *industrial* process and diluted don't you? Some of the cheap
and nasty brown supermarket vinegar is also the latter plus a brown
dye.


I'd be interested to know of a form of everyday matter that isn't a
chemical.


It is a fact entirely lost on the target market of worried well that buy
overpriced and vastly overpackaged Organic(TM) tat in supermarkets.

Fear of "chemicals" is now a major marketing ploy in overpriced food.
