@Rebecca yes, you can omit the essential oil and see if that helps with your streaks. Vinegar kills many, but not all germs that may be lingering in your house. For instance, it does kill the flu, but not some types of salmonella. We found this article helpful: http://www.abc.net.au/health/talkinghealth/factbuster/stories/2012/02/02/3407024.htm#.UQA0H-hjwZc

This is great for the kitchen but it leaves horrible streaks on my wood tables. Will vinegar kill germs or is it just the tea tree oil? Can I omit the oil?
