Safety First. Never mix ingredients until you have researched their compatibility. Keep all products out of reach of children and pets. Keep products away from skin. Do not assume that because something is called an "all-purpose cleaner," it is safe for absolutely everything. Vinegar is acidic and can damage or etch certain surfaces. Avoid using this vinegar-based cleaner on: Marble Granite Limestone Other natural stone surfaces Some finished wood surfaces Surfaces where the manufacturer's instructions prohibit vinegar Vinegar can etch natural stone, so always check the manufacturer's cleaning recommendations first. When you're uncertain, test your cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first.
