My grandma's old vinegar cleaning trick actually ruined my granite counters
I tried using her 50/50 white vinegar and water mix on my kitchen counters last month after seeing it work miracles on her formica. Within 3 days I noticed dull spots and a weird rough texture on the surface. Turns out the acid eats away at the sealant on granite and leaves permanent etching. I called a local stone guy in Austin and he said he sees this mistake at least once a week. Cost me $200 to get them resurfaced, which pretty much wiped out my whole cleaning budget for the year. Anyone else learn the hard way that some old school hacks don't work on modern materials?
