Apparently so. I've been trying to find a better (and cheaper) cleaning solution for my new Bissell carpet cleaner, and water and vinegar comes up time and time again. The wetting of the carpet will allow the shampoo to dissolve again, and blotting out, or drawing out with the carpet cleaner should remove any shampoo in there. I suppose how quickly and completely depends on how much is in there. If the shampoo was alkaline based, then the vinegar will help draw it out (as vinegar is an acid). If not, then I guess it will take a bit longer to effectively rinse it out. I'm going to try this on the car seats, as the "valet" the last owner had done has left lots of shampoo in. More shampoo does not equal cleaner!

What can you do about the ammonia smell in your urine?
You can remove the smell of urine by using a vinegar/water solution. Your question doesn't say whether the fabric is furniture, carpet or clothes. So, I'll cover all of them. On fabric and carpet, I use my shampooer. I use the recommended amount of shampoo, but for the water I use a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water. If you don't have a shampooer, the easiest thing to do is to mix a 50/50 solution in a spray bottle and spray the spot. Really soak it. Use an old towel to dab it dry. If it is something that can be laundered, pour up to 1/2 a SMALL box of baking soda in the washer, over the clothes. Add your detergent and anywhere from 1 to 4 cups of vineger. It will work best if you actually pour the baking soda and vinegar directly on the soiled items. The baking soda will make it fizz like crazy, but it won't overflow. You can even use more vinegar if it doesn't work to your satisfaction. The vinegar smell will disappear when it dries. Another thing that works, is if you have access to a washer with a "sanitize" setting, it will sometimes get the odor out without the vinegar and baking soda.
How will the acidity of the vinegar affect the flexibility of a chicken bone?
The vinegar (weak acetic acid) will de-calcify (remove the calcium) from the bone - thus rendering it flexible...easy to perform yourself. Best to clean the bone well before trying, change vinegar solution each day.
What happens when you mix salt and vinegar?
The salt will dissolve in the vinegar, which is mostly water. However, a chemical reaction will also occur with the vinegar's acetic acid (CH3COOH) and the ions of sodium and chlorine from the salt, producing sodium acetate and a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid. The mixture can be used to clean pennies and remove mild rust from items. If you place a tarnished copper cent in vinegar, some of the tarnish will dissolve. However, if you then add salt, the hydrochloric acid formed will rapidly remove the tarnish from the coin, leaving bare metal. (Not recommended on valuable coins)
