Mine have done just fine.  You may be thinking that the vinegar will turn
the soil totally acid.  Not so unless you have an unending supply and
totally saturate the soil.  Just give a glug or too to the grass clump.
Then wait and see.  The grass will absorb most of the vinegar so their
shouldn't be much if any for the iris.  I only spray areas that do not
include plants I want to keep.  This type of treatment plan is not going to
give you instant wilt like the TV commercials, though the White Top was
totally fried by the next day.

Irises don't like acid soil either.  Therefore I am afraid to put vinegar
around mine.

Clorox will kill the beneficial bacteria in the soil.  Since the vinegar is
a strong acid, even an "acid loving" plant would probably be burned since
our terms of strength are all relative anyway.

I'll try some vinegar on my patch of sheep sorrel, but since it's an acid
loving plant, a good dose of Clorox might work better.
