There's a lot of dilution in this recipe between the water & the hydrogen peroxide. I did a quick search and found other recipes that contained distilled vinegar including this one from the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/20/garden/20room.html" rel="nofollow">NY Times for cleaning granite</a>: "Or you can make a homemade solution of equal parts water and distilled white vinegar.
