Be careful adding vinegar to baking soda, because it bubbles and pops as gas is released. It also etches the countertop in a couple of ways, chemically (vinegar is acidic, so will dissolve some of the surface material) and mechanically with those popping bubbles. Baking soda by itself or with water is mild enough to do only minimal damage, but in combination with an acid like vinegar or lemon juice it is destructive. Could permanently change shiny to dull.
