how to eliminate lily of the valley

I need to get rid of lily of the valley because it is taking over. Someone told me that I could use a mixture of vinegar/salt/dish detergent. How effective is this mixture and will it damage other plants close by? I have a Holly Bush very nearby. How many times should I apply this mixture and when?

Here is an article that will tell you how to control lily of the valley. Any literature I have read espouses the use of glysophate to remove it the most effectively.
