I would also like to know the answer. I think it will, because it does attack the calcium, really cleans the surface. I've done a garage floor and it seems to have the same effect as the commercial acids, and appears to do the same thing (I've used both). However I"ll like to see further replies, from persons that have done the same.
No
paint or acid etch

No, acetone will etch marble.
Usually when you're planning on going over it with additional concrete or cement, or in preparation for an epoxy or waterproofing coating.
Vinegar is NOT a neutral ph cleaner. Having said that it is usually ok to use on floors, except when they are a granite floor as the acidity of vinegar will start to etch the stone.it is better to use a clean micro fiber cloth and then give it a polish with a product specifically made to clean floors (mrclean or simply green make a wonderful inexpensive floor cleaner for just this purpose.)
I'm not sure what you mean by 'safe', but vinegar can etch aluminum - so I would not recommend leaving vinegar in an aluminum pot overnight.
Apparently, yes. See the link below.
Vinegar and water. Never use paper towels or newspaper. It will etch the circular movements right into your windows.
Vinegar, with a pH of 2.8, is very acidic and as a result will etch any sealed finish on your granite. Typical etchings will appear as hazy areas, dull spots or rings.
You can't make it. You used to buy Etch Bath and use a marker to fill it up in, if you can find it still you can thin down the etch using vinegar (too much will lower potency though). Make sure to wear protective gloves and eye protection as etch can cause horrible burns, tearing of the skin, and pretty nasty chemical scars. You used to be able to get Etch Bath from stores like michaels and Joanns and Hobby Lobby etc. but now theyre all gone, assuming from theft and liability reasons. If your looking for a better alternative they have glass etch already in a graffiti marker (mop) on amazon by searching "graffiti etch" no work, or risk in injury and work great.
If the water's chemistry is not correctly balanced, it can. For example, if your pH is too low, the water can etch cement you'd materials.
