Is vinegar good enough?

For cleaning the outsides of our toilets (ie lid, handle, seat etc?)
I'm trying to do away with chemicals so have a spray bottle filled with half vinegar, half water and a tiny drop of washing up liquid. I know that vinegar has good antibacterial qualities but do you think this is enough?

I've recently come across this amazing cleaner!! It's called Revolution Clean.
It's not only a great cleaner, but it kills stuff like MRSA, E Coli, flu viruses, norovirus etc etc. But get this - it kills by physical means! In other words it kills bacteria and viruses via physical means so those nasties don't build up resistance. There's a science page on their website that explains it all. I've used it on practically everything.
It's completely eco and is food and human/pet safe - ticks all my boxes!!
Now my cleaning products have been reduced to Revolution Clean, vinegar and bicarb only!

Oh I nearly forgot to post the link! Here it is:

They've also got another product called Garden Genie - I'm going to try it out too.

Thanks both. MsPZ personally I don't like the look of Revolution Clean - probably too many chemicals in there for me. I think it's trying to sound like it's a "green" alternative - but there's so little information on it (and it sounds so bloody powerful) that it's not. (And what is killing germs by "physical means" .

I think I'll stick with my vinegar.
