Five items and surfaces that should never be cleaned with vinegar

SSP has prepared tips and tricks to help you use vinegar safely and effectively in your daily cleaning. Learn how to protect various surfaces and objects from potential damage caused by vinegar.

Cleaning marble

Never clean marble surfaces with vinegar. Vinegar is an acid and can damage the delicate surface of marble. Instead, use a pH-neutral cleaner specially formulated for marble to preserve its shine and prevent stains.

Protecting your parquet floor

Do not use vinegar to clean your parquet floor. The acidity of vinegar can remove the protective coating from the parquet floor, resulting in dullness and potential damage. It is recommended to use products formulated specifically for floor cleaning.

Protecting electronic screens

It is not recommended to clean electronic screens such as TVs or computer monitors with vinegar. The acid contained in vinegar can damage the protective coating of these displays. We recommend using a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or a screen cleaning solution.

Preserving silver items

When cleaning silver or silver-plated items, avoid using vinegar. The acid it contains can remove the thin layer that gives silver its shine, resulting in a dull appearance. Instead, use a polish or non-abrasive cleaner specially formulated for silver.

Caring for stone countertops

When cleaning stone countertops, such as granite or quartz, avoid using vinegar. Acid can cause discoloration and dullness of these surfaces. To preserve their beauty, we recommend using a mild, pH-neutral detergent.
