FAQ:
Q: Is vinegar safe to use on all surfaces?
A: While vinegar is safe for most surfaces, avoid using it on natural stone (like marble or granite) as it can cause etching. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Q: Will my home smell like vinegar after cleaning?
A: The vinegar smell dissipates quickly as it dries. Adding essential oils helps mask the scent and leaves a fresh fragrance.
Q: Can I use apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar?
A: White vinegar is preferred for cleaning due to its clear color and strong acidity. Apple cider vinegar may leave residues or stains.
