If Lucite says acetic acid is OK for Lucite (AFAIK, the original
plexiglas) then I'd accept that as more reliable data than what I was
originally reading. (but I can't find the page below)
Anyhow, the fact that vinegar comes in plastic bottles (which are
probably polyethylene) would have no bearing on plexiglas which is a
totally different type of plastic. Different types may have much
different physical characteristics.
The info below on citric acid and HCL probably means that someone elses
suggestion of CLR *may* be safe as well. I think it's largely citric
acid but caution needs to be observed with that word "largely".
