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.

An irritating phrase! We're being told from all sides that early diagnosis improves chances of recovery, but how on earth do you arrange for only the "worried ill" to present themselves for early diagnosis? (The key being diagnosis - until you have the diagnosis, you don't know whether the symptoms are of something serious)
