    you can disguise the smell of vinegar by adding essential oil, I like lemon and/or lime

    stardrops is good

    stardrops is usually with all the other cleaners in the supermarket, but often on the bottom shelf as they want you to buy the dearer products. it is a multi purpose cleaner that you can use for just about anything. Its concentrated so lasts ages. Another cheap product I use is Zoflora disinfectant again its concentrated and you only need a capful in a bucket of water to disinfect toilets etc, it smells lovely too.
