If you need more just add a bit more vinegar at a time. Do not go over about 4:1. Vinegar is an acid and may etch your natural stone. I don't know what type of stone you have - some are softer than others. But acid will etch them all if strong enough. Always test on a scrap piece first.

We had to use unsanded grout for our textured, natural-stone tiles for the entryway right inside the front door. We haven't found a cleaner that will remove the unsanded grout from the tile surface. Will your vinegar solution work to remove the unsanded grout from the tile surfaces? We don't really want to use any products with noxious fumes as we have a baby at home and we can't leave the front door open for ventilation. Cheers, Daisy Hi, Jeff.
