MISTAKES NOT TO MAKE WITH WHITE VINEGAR

White vinegar: this miracle cleaner… to be used with caution!

Say goodbye to useless household products; white vinegar is the all-purpose cleaner (or almost). In fact, it can replace bleach or any kind of stain remover, which is quite practical. Be careful, though, as not everything can be cleaned with this product, and users do make some mistakes.

READY, SET, WRITE!

This applies to tables, ornaments, benches, floors, fireplace surrounds, etc. Yes, marble is a derivative of limestone. And as you may know, white vinegar is merciless with limestone, on which it has a corrosive effect. The acidity of the vinegar attacks and eventually dulls the marble. Vinegar risks stinging and damaging the marble's protective coating. Just like lemon, which is also very acidic! To clean marble, it is better to use whiting.

You want to bring out your beautiful necklace of precious stones and pearls, but it's dirty! Don't clean it with white vinegar. It's the ideal product for taking care of your jewelry. Unless it has embedded precious stones! Vinegar can tarnish them and make them lose their shine. The acid in white vinegar would simply melt your pearls. To avoid this, and let your jewelry shine brightly, a few drops of olive oil on a soft cloth are enough to care for cultured pearls. For costume jewelry that turns black, use lemon.
