Cleaning an apartment involves using a large amount of household chemicals. Sprays are used for glass, polishes for furniture, and special compounds for floors.
Housewives try to simplify their task and in search of natural, inexpensive and effective products come to such wonderful things as table vinegar.
Vinegar can be used to clean, disinfect, remove odors, treat, and even be used in laundry.
But there are situations when acid can damage household property.
In the kitchen
In kitchen utensils, vinegar is used to clean the oven, microwave, dishes from limescale, faucets and other items. In all these cases, the acid works effectively.
But when you need to clean a natural stone countertop or stone tiles, it is better to leave vinegar aside. It can ruin the finishing elements.
Also, you shouldn't clean aluminum cookware with vinegar.
On the floor
You can wash the floor with vinegar. It is a good substitute for household chemicals. But it is better not to treat wooden floors, as well as laminate and parquet, as well as any polished surfaces with vinegar. The situation is similar with stone tiles and marble.
Bathroom
It is not recommended to clean the enamel bathtub from yellow plaque, as well as other compounds that contain acid. Vinegar copes well with plaque on enamel, but the coating does not withstand frequent contact with acid and gradually the enamel begins to deteriorate, and the plaque appears more aggressively.
In addition, it is not recommended to use vinegar to clean the washing machine and dishwasher. The acid may not have the best effect on the rubber parts of the equipment.
