    DriPak sells both vinegar and bicarb and they do not recommend it as a cleaning solution for the reasons already pointed out (basic science, which most 'internet cleaning gurus' seem to have skipped in school).  Use one, THEN the other if you need both, or use together if all you need is to tickle some dirt loose with the fizzing (which is them neutralising each other).

    You can mix vinegar with water, that's fine, as vinegar is already diluted with water.  Personally, I prefer using citric acid as it's much smaller to store and you mix it with water to the strength you want.  Plus it doesn't smell and works out cheaper usually.

    Nothing's wrong with it, but sometimes it is more faff to handle nine 568ml bottles than have a single 5l container on the garage shelf.
