Spirit Vinegar is widely used as a natural acidifier in recipes and sauces. It's the most common form of vinegar and also the most affordable. There are also several little-known uses for this type of vinegar which you can learn more about in our HOW TO section.
To make spirit vinegar, harvested sugar cane is converted into molasses, which is then fermented and distilled into high strength alcohol (96,4%). That alcohol is diluted and added to a mash before being converted to spirit vinegar in acetators.

Where not to use it
Vinegar is a natural cleaner, but it isn't right for every job. Keep it away from these to avoid damage, and never mix it with bleach.
Granite and marble countertops
The acid in vinegar can etch natural stone and slowly fade that smooth shine with repeated use. Rather use a mild liquid dish detergent and warm water instead.
Stone floor tiles
Just like countertops, the natural stone in your bathroom reacts poorly to acidic cleaners, like vinegar and lemon. Instead, just stick to using either special stone soap or a mild liquid dish detergent and water.
Hardwood floors
Opinions differ on using vinegar to clean hardwood floors as it can depend on the wood finish. To rather be safe than sorry, our advice is to use a cleaner specifically formulated for hardwood flooring.
Egg stains or spills
If you make a mess on the counter or floor with raw egg, don't use vinegar to clean it up as this will cause the egg enzymes to coagulate. Rather just use soap and warm water.
Anything with bleach
It's best to avoid mixing chemicals for any kind of cleaning job. Since vinegar is so acidic, it releases toxic chlorine vapours when mixed with bleach. So, even though bleach and vinegar are both effective cleaners, it's important that you never mix them, in order to keep your home safe.
Irons
Don't pour vinegar through your iron if you want to clean it out because vinegar can damage the internal parts of an iron. To keep irons from clogging, rather empty them completely after each use and follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions.
