5 mistakes not to make with white vinegar.
White vinegar has become my cleaning ally for the whole house.
Since I tried it, I never part with it!
Not only is it natural and non-toxic, it is also super economical.
Not to mention the fact that it is a versatile product! You can use it to clean almost all.
However, even though white vinegar is a miracle product, you can't use it for anything and everything ...
There are some things you shouldn't clean with white vinegar. here is 5 mistakes not to make with white vinegar. Look :
1. Marble, granite and soapstone
Contact between white vinegar and natural stones such as granite, marble and soapstone should be avoided.
Why ? Because the acidity of white vinegar gradually attacks the stone and can cause marks.
As a result, over time, these natural stones may lose their shine.
Instead, use this trick.
2. Kitchen knives
If you want to keep your knives looking like new and shiny, avoid contact with acidic things like white vinegar or lemon.
Indeed, the blade risks tarnishing, or even stinging black if it is made of silver in particular.
Now you know why it is not polite to cut your salad with your knife: because you are exposing the blade to the dressing.
Instead, use dish soap and water.
3. Egg stain
The white vinegar coagulates the protein in the egg creating a sticky substance that cannot be cleaned up.
If you break an egg on the floor, avoid using white vinegar to clean it!
Instead, use damp, soapy paper towels.
4. Iron
White vinegar can damage the inner workings of some irons.
It is therefore preferable to clean your iron with something else, especially with salt.
Instead, use this trick.
5. Wooden furniture and floors
It is not a good idea to clean wood with pure, undiluted white vinegar.
In addition to leaving traces of water, the acid in white vinegar can gradually "nibble" the varnish and dull the wood.
The same goes for solid wood floors.
Instead, use this trick.
