I have found that our modern dishwasher and washing machine warranty states that vingar can break down the rubber seals in the machine and will void the warranty if it breaks. I've seen a lot of people mention this in comments but not in the videos. I've also noticed it damaging the finish on our wooden dining table so I've stopped using it there. I suspect it's got a coating on it to protect it. I don't use it on our wood flooring or any treated surface. I really love using vinegar but I feel the warnings need to be more thorough. Hope this helps some people. Check before you use this.

Good, helpful tips. Vinegar is actually a very strong acid, so it will eventually eat away natural materials. The classic way to strip a cast iron pan for reseasoning is to soak it for only 30 minutes in a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. But it's not recommended to go beyond 30 minutes because it will actually eat away and destroy the underlying iron ore. If it's strong enough to eat iron, then it will definitely destroy wood, rubber, and other materials. Use with caution.

Just wondering if the washing machine is a front loader. I add 1/2-1 cup of vinegar in the fabric softener slot per load in my top loader and haven't seen any signs of seal issues as of yet. But I wouldn't know if the seals underneath the machine are deteriorating or not. I would think that the amount of vinegar I add is too diluted to harm them. What I have noticed is that is that the vinegar helps de-lint the clothes & towels makes them fresh smelling, and non-static after drying. Plus my washer never smells funky.

When you are using vinegar as a weed killer for vining weeds, you can fill a little tub (empty sour cream or take out containers work well) and poke a hole in the top and feed a vine into the hole. The vine will take up the vinegar and kill the plant - works really well for invasive morning glory!
