Vinegar has been used since Soviet times as one of the effective means against scale, grease and other contaminants.

But it can't be used in all cases. Sometimes vinegar can do more harm than good.

There is a list of things that are best cleaned using other means, and vinegar should be saved for other situations.

For example, experts do not recommend wiping a stone countertop with this product. Over time, the surface will lose its shine and become dull and rough.

The same rule applies to laminate and parquet. Vinegar is an aggressive agent for these floor coverings. Vinegar will make polished furniture fade.

Experienced cleaners do not recommend wiping silicone seams in the bathroom with this product. Because of the vinegar, they will become dry and may crack after some time.

But this product is effective and safe when you need to wash dishes, rid your washing machine of unpleasant odors, remove rust, scale, or break up limescale.
