    Can you do the salt and vinegar method if the faucet is sitting on granite counters, without damaging the counter tops?

    Just curious but can you use distilled white vinegar or does have to be Heinz cleaning vinegar?

    Can this combo be used in toilets? We live on a well and have horrible lime buildup on our toilets. Thanks

  • For the coffee maker itself I would use Heinz cleaning vinegar in it to see if that gets it unclogged. You may need to use the vinegar several times. You could even try using a vinegar cleaning once a week to prevent it from getting clogged. Most manuals that come with the coffee maker explain the process but if you need any specifics, just let me know. : )
