No, standard household white vinegar will not damage a faucet aerator. Vinegar is a mild acetic acid that is completely safe for brass, stainless steel, chrome finishes, and plastic aerator components, making it the ideal natural solution for dissolving hard water calcium and lime scale. However, you should avoid leaving chrome or brass fixtures soaking in harsh, undiluted industrial chemical acids for extended periods. Verification: Rinse the aerator thoroughly with clean water after a 30-minute soak to confirm all mineral residue has dissolved.
