In laboratories I worked in throughout the career, glacial (100%) acetic acid was something dispensed in a fume (ventilated) hood and when diluted could be placed on your lab bench. The diluted stuff was usually around 3 molar (=~ 17%...if my aging brain isn't failing me), so still a bit more concentrated than kitchen vinegar averaging at ~5%. The observation was that there were differing sensitivities among the lab members.....some not tolerating even the slightest whiff (allergic-like reaction) whereas others seemed fine with pretty strong smell. It's a good reason why the rules dictated where and in what form the different concentrations could be used. As household cleaner, I think 'well ventilated' would be prudent and if possible lean towards sponging it onto surfaces.....aerosoling amps up the volatility of the acid.
