Vinegar was used for medication and disinfection long before we had antibiotics and disinfectant. It is also environmentally friendly. When my kettle needs descaling, I put about a half pint of white vinegar and add about the same of water, then I boil the kettle, usually, the kettle is descaled first time, if not, then boil it up again.

Then pour it down your plughole, it will help clean your pipes, its cheap and doesn't pollute the environment.

Sorry, I digress, it does sooth bites and stings as well.
