Although vinegar is a convenient and powerful cleaner, using it thoughtfully is the key to keeping your household surfaces in good condition. Before applying vinegar to unfamiliar materials, it’s wise to review manufacturer recommendations or test a small, hidden area first. Many surfaces benefit more from products created specifically for their care, especially those with protective coatings or natural finishes. By learning when to avoid vinegar and choosing appropriate cleaning methods, you can maintain the appearance and longevity of your belongings while still enjoying the benefits of natural cleaning solutions.
