How much vinegar should be used, and what do you use to
neutralize when done?
Straight white vinegar. Just Flush with water. Or if your really concerned. Water with baking soda dissolved in it. But most use water only.
Vinegar is a very mild acid and it really doesn't need to be neutralized. Just kind of rinsed off.
There are also posts out there in regards to using certain dishwasher detergents as well. They do the same thing.
