Abstract The purpose of this science experiment is to determine whether natural products such as undiluted and 50% diluted lemon juice and vinegar have the capability to replace commercial chemical disinfectants in certain areas of household cleaning and in healthcare. The idea is to see if the natural disinfectants can be used to inhibit or kill microorganisms to the same extent as commercial chemical disinfectants.
