Vinegar is an acid with a low ph. So many germs and virus are killed with it.
Michael Mullen a spokesperson for he Heinz corporation says that straight 5% vinegar will kill 80% of the germs and virus. Heinz says they can’t make the claim on the bottle that it kills bacteria because of the EPA laws. If you do the research though you will find that the claims are sound.
Only 80%? That doesn't sound all that good to me, but that's just me.

Not sure I’d trust a Heinz spokesman for scientific data ;)
One of my books says the number is more like 99%, but I’d have to dig that out again.
