Yes, and stronger solutions are used to clean out and de-scale oilwell
casings and pipes. I use the 5-percent distilled stuff to clean the calcium
deposits from my micro-irrigation spray heads, misters, and drippers.

Vinegar is a mainstay of the old folk recipes for cleaning, and with
good reason. The vim of the vinegar is that it kills bacteria, mold,
and germs. Heinz company spokesperson Michael Mullen references
numerous studies to show that a straight 5 percent solution of vinegar
such as you can buy in the supermarket kills 99 percent of bacteria,
82 percent of mold, and 80 percent of germs (viruses).
