You can mix vinegar and peroxide together but you should not do so as it creates pectic acid which is highly corrosive.

The vinegar and peroxide when mixed together creates pectic acid which is highly corrosive and can cause damage to your skin and chemical burns.

But it's safe to use the vinegar and peroxide mixture on some surfaces to clean and disinfect.

However it could damage some types of surfaces so it's best to use hydrogen peroxide and vinegar separate when cleaning.

They really should not be mixed together.

Also when using the vinegar and peroxide mixture mixed together it can damage your skin, eyes etc when it possibly comes in contact with you.

Using vinegar is another effective way to clean mold in your home.

However, it's important not to mix hydrogen peroxide and vinegar together.

Hydrogen peroxide is known to react with vinegar to create peracetic acid , which is a toxic substance that can irritate your eyes, skin, or lungs.
