It’s interesting sometimes to have a look at what people are searching for when they hit your blog. Some of the searches have been people worried about using vinegar on their appliances or their stainless steel. I wonder if people worry about their normal cleaners which usually carry warnings on the side re touching, inhaling etc and rarely ever disclose ingredients. Anyway just in case this type of search happens again relax searcher – I have been using vinegar for over 5 months now and am still smiling. There have been no problems on any surfaces that I have used – laminate floors, glass, porcelain, plastic bath, brushed stainless steel, stainless steel, mirrors and chrome. In general though think of white vinegar just like any other cleaner – don’t use it unless you have to. Most stainless steel is easily cleaned by a dry soft cloth or a slightly damp cloth – you don’t need vinegar for it. One of the big advantages of vinegar that I have found is I can change from surface to surface without having to change cleaner which is great in places like the bathroom or kitchen. I was a bit dubious at first about it in toilet bowls but combined with baking soda it keeps the toilets way healthier than toilet duck used to. I still have to trial it in the shower – that will be my next test. So if you’re reading this give vinegar a go without worry – you will become a convert and your shopping bill will thank you.
