If I remember correctly bleach will not kill viruses, F10 will kill bacteria, yeasts, moulds, fungi, fungal spores and viruses.

It's the acid in vinegar white vinegar that is effective on household bacteria like salmonella, E. coli and other gram-negative bacteria. (Gram-negative bacteria can cause infections including pneumonia, bloodstream infections, wound or surgical site infections, and meningitis.)Vinegar does not disinfect or sterilise anything!!

I've heard of it being used in hospitals and aged care facilities.
The national collaborating centre for environmental health has a PDF study on using vinegar to disinfect I can't work out how to put up a link. But you could do a search and find it if you're interested. It's at the end of page 9,start of page 10.
But I'm sure there are many others
Bleach doesn't @yellowbeard but white vinegar does. bleach and vinegar used in conjunction with each other is effective and much cheaper

It's nice that you can use google to help you find a study done in Canada however, you may want to read a bit more. Here is the link...

I can tell you from many years of experience in the health sector that vinegar is a poor antimicrobial agent. If it was a simple as using vinegar to disinfect and sterilise then I'm sure we would all be using it but this just isn't the case. If you do know of any hospitals or aged care facilities using vinegar for this purpose then please pm me the names of them as I would like to go and do a check. If they are in fact using solely vinegar or other 'natural' remedies then they are breaking the law!

Please, once again check your facts before giving people this type of advice. Anyone with a basic knowledge of chemistry knows that mixing the correct ratios of bleach and vinegar will in fact make chlorine. If you wish to do this then that's fine however, it could end badly for someone else or their reptiles.
Never mix any types of chemicals!!
I want to believe, I really do! But where do you get this info from?Regardless of what some might think most dishwashers heat the water to a temp very close to an autoclave and will kill "all" bacteria and viruses even Salmanella,
I use a steamer, it is awesome. I used to use vinegar prior to my awesome steamer.... It is one of my favorite toys(the steamer NOT the vinegar lol)
Vinegar does kill some things but it is only 90% effective against bacteria and 80%-83% effective against viruses and mold/mildew
Does vinegar really kill household germs? - Health & Wellbeing
But there are plenty of other articles around, given it may not disinfect as well as others, but a good clean on top of using vinegar and bicarb, hot water and bleach, or whatever you use should leave any surface clean and as sanitized as any other product
