Distilled Vinegar is biodegradable, environmentally friendly, kills mold and bacteria, removes stains, cleans glass and eliminates odors. And, it is quite inexpensive, says the Best and Most Thorough Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Highland Park, IL., Dialamaidusa.
However, there are certain cleaning projects that vinegar shouldbe used on. Vinegar is an acidic liquid, 2 2/3 on a pH scale. It will not harm the environment but many surfaces and objects in your home can be harmed by acidic liquids like vinegar, says the Premier Residential House Cleaning Service in Highland Park, IL., Dialamaidusa.
- Marble and Granite are some of the most popular materials for countertops. Vinegar, even when diluted, can destroy the protective sealant that is on it. Once the sealant is gone, the stone can be etched, says the Foremost Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Highland Park, IL., Dialamaidusa. Water and food can leave permanent stains, once the sealant is removed. Vinegar can also dull the shiny surface, making countertops look old before their time. Stone, concrete, and ceramic tiled floors also will have their protective sealant removed.
- Computer and cell phone screens should not have vinegar applied to them, says the Most Thorough Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Highland Park, IL., Dialamaidusa.
Vinegar is safe to use on windows and glass, but not computer monitors and cell phone screens. Monitors and cell phone screens have a protective coating that prevents glare and damage to the screen. If the screen is blurry, use a microfiber cloth, slightly moistened with water to clean it. Don’t use vinegar because it can permanently damage the screen’s protective coating, proclaims Dialamaidusa.
For laundry, some people add vinegar to the wash cycle, along with the laundry detergent. The alkaline properties of the detergent neutralize the vinegar and the acidic properties of the vinegar neutralize the detergent, making it less effective for removing dirt. Also, never mix bleach with vinegar, the combo of the 2 will cause chlorine gas to form, which can irritate and burn your eyes, throat, and lungs, says the Best Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Highland Park, IL., Dialamaidusa.
Vinegar can be used to clean and disinfect many surfaces and items, but it’s not a universal cleaner.
