That viral '5 minute homemade cleaner' article left a worse film than my old store spray
Saw a trending piece last week claiming vinegar and dish soap in a spray bottle outcleans everything, so I tried it on my kitchen counters in Austin. It left this sticky haze that actually trapped dust, and the article never mentioned rinsing or mixing ratios, just one vague photo. Has anyone else tested a viral cleaning hack and gotten worse results than the cheap stuff it was supposed to replace?

Forty years back, my mother got this same idea from a magazine and mixed vinegar with a squirt of Joy on our bathroom tile in Ohio. The smell was so strong we had to open every window for two days, and the film it left on the mirrors looked like fog that never lifted. She finally threw out the bottle and went back to plain old Windex, which cost about a dollar more but actually worked. I figure these recipes are fine for people who like the smell of a salad in their bathroom, but I'm sticking with what I know.
