No for disinfecting my stuff, I thought I read long ago something about Vinegar being used. I may be off I'm trying to recall something from way back when.

you can use a 1-10 bleach solution in a pitcher or spray bottle outside and after wards thoroughly rinse and resoak in water that has been heavily declored,that will kill everything but is thought of as a little exreme.
If its for removing hard water deposits and calcium precipitates then vinegar is a good solution to that problem.
Vinegar does have antibacterial properties but i believe its due the the acidity and from my understanding you would want it pure or mixed with salt and that will do the trick,especialy if it was in a soak that would kill of everything.hydrogen peroxide is a good one too.

Ahhh OK, I will try the straight Vinegar with Salt, soaking my nets for a while.

I know that commonly available vinegar is already diluted and that it will slowly evaporate if left in a open container.You may use cool water to slow the process.

I like what the LFS does and uses a ton of salt and a heavy dose of quikcure medication.A triple hit to any parasites or fungus.

Formalin,malachite green,sodium chloride,and dont take the chlorine out of the dip water...some times they put in a little hydrogen peroxide but that disapates rather fast and has to be replenished.

A medical professional told me that hydrogen peroxide use was discounted in hospitals because it will kill all bacteria,good and bad.So I may try using that at home to disinfect nets and hoses.
