With it, you can clean countertops, sinks and electrical appliances, windows, mirrors, carpets, tiles, sinks, tubs and toilets, and remove stains from clothes. Of course we missed some applications but this is a very complete product.
Likewise, you should know that there are places you cannot use, or at least be very careful. For example, dishwasher. You have to be very careful because vinegar is an acidic substance, so in the long run it can corrode some components of the dishwasher, such as rubber parts.
Same way, Be careful if you use cleaning vinegar on the floors. Vinegar can be used to polish ceramic, terracotta or stoneware tiles, but you should never use it on marble, granite or natural stone in general.
Floors or countertops made of these materials can rust and be damaged by vinegar or other acidic products. That’s why it’s important to use neutral detergents, that is, with a pH of 7, when washing natural stone floors.
