What the title says. Sure, it’s gentle on the environment, but it doesn’t remove soap scum, grease, grime etc anywhere nearly as effective as other products. I also doubt its efficiency as an antibacterial compared to say alcohol or most detergents.

There, I’ve said it.

    It’s amazing for getting mildew funk out of towels. Also great at killing the funk in whitewater neoprene booties and bike helmets.

    I wouldn’t use soap to flush my camper van’s water system either. A few runs of vinegar killed the plastic taste.

      Yes, that I’ll give credit for. I’ve removed mold from wood and leather using vinegar, whereas using just soap would make the mold return. (Still, it will come back if the conditions for mold become suitable once again, but it won’t bounce back immediately). My point is that it’s not a miracle-cleans-it-all as many will make you believe.
