1. Much has been said about the
awesome cleaning qualities of
vinegar.
People use it on a regular basis.
However there are several
surfaces with which you should
avoid using vinegar.
Follow through
with the next
slides to
understand which
surfaces shouldn't
be treated with
vinegar.
2. Vinegar Is Not A Substitute For Soap
Most people don’t understand that vinegar can’t
be used for every cleaning chore around the
house.
For example if you want to remove a greasy stain
use regular soap or dishwashing detergent.
Vinegar has acidic properties while grease can be
removed with alkaline solvents.
3. Vinegar And Wax
Due to it’s acidic qualities
vinegar will dissolve and
strip wax from a surface.
In case you don’t want it to
happen I recommend you
use specialized wax
cleaning solvent.
4. Marble Surfaces
I’ll tell you only one word next time you
think of cleaning your kitchen countertop
with vinegar solution - CORROSION. This
is what vinegar will do to a marble
surface.
5. Smartphone, Laptop And LCD
All surfaces with sensitive screens have
a thin protective layer of oleophobic
coating. The acid in vinegar will remove
this layer leaving your phone or tablet
unprotected.
6. Bleach
The worst thing you can do is combining
vinegar and bleach. The result will be
chlorine gas which is poisonous.
7. Bug and Weed Killer
Vinegar can be used as weed killer as well
as insecticide. Refrain from applying it
directly onto the plant. The acid will
damage and even kill your plant.
8. Proteins And Vinegar
Be careful when you clean stains
with vinegar especially protein
based like eggs. The acid will
transform the protein molecules
into a gluey matter which is
extremely hard to remove.
9. In conclusion, no matter how eager you’
re to clean in an organic way sometimes
it is better to use commercial cleaning
detergents.
