That's why you shouldn't use white vinegar – despite the recommendations:

Indeed, adding white vinegar over weeds between the cracks in the pavement is an ideal way to kill them. This can be done with a spray or by applying the vinegar directly to the grass leaves. White vinegar, especially when mixed with dish soap, effectively kills weeds. The acetic acid in vinegar draws the water from the grass, which dries it out, while dish soap breaks down the outside of the plant and helps the vinegar penetrate it faster. However, white vinegar can be harmful to your lawn and all the plants around those weeds. When white vinegar spray comes into contact with grass, it can turn yellow. Therefore, if you use white vinegar - do so when you do not threaten other desirable vegetation. For moss and weeds in lawns and between flower beds, choosing an all-purpose herbicide is best.
