When using white vinegar on painted surfaces, the acid it contains is likely to strip the paint, discolor, and dull the surface. The acid can also cause warping and cracking.
Metal Surfaces and Metal Objects
You’ve probably heard that vinegar can remove rust from knives. If you use this trick too often, you could end up with dull and damaged knives. This powerful natural product can dull and corrode the finish of copper, brass, and stainless steel.
Vinegar can also strip away the coating on most plumbing fixtures, leading to rust and other damage.
Wooden Surfaces
Many people believe that the best way to clean a wooden surface is with vinegar. However, what they don’t realize is that vinegar, even when diluted, actually eats away at the finish of wooden surfaces.
In fact, wood can absorb moisture, and the acid in vinegar can strip and damage it over time. When the protective finish is removed by the acid, the wood becomes vulnerable to wear.
In such a situation, it is recommended to turn to a cleaner ideally designed for cleaning wood. Therefore, you should no longer use multi-purpose products unless it is indicated that the product can safely clean a wooden surface.
