What is cleaning vinegar?
Cleaning vinegar is primarily a good remedy for cleaning things. Then we think of descaling plumbing or cleaning the stove.
Vinegar:
- neutralizes odors
- removes grease stains and calcium deposits
- disinfecting
Dilute it with water and you can get to work removing stubborn deposits. Provided caution, it won’t hurt to use a dash of cleaning vinegar once in a while. But is it also good for mopping your floor?
Why is mopping with vinegar not a good idea?
Despite vinegar’s many qualities, mopping with vinegar is not recommended in most cases. Depending on your floor type, vinegar can cause unwanted stains. The descaling effect of vinegar can have a negative impact on calcareous materials such as natural stone and also on the joints of your tiles. What about laminate and PVC floors? Too much concentration of cleaning vinegar can damage the floor.
Why don’t our cleaning helpers brush with vinegar? The prolonged use of vinegar can lead to skin irritation. In addition, inhaling it can cause respiratory irritation and thus be harmful.
Use probiotic cleaners instead of vinegar
You can also try probiotic cleaners. Probiotic cleaners are a safer and healthier alternative on all counts. Our partner Clean Green offers a nice assortment.
