Ariel, my father was born in 1912, and I did listen to his advice before he was promoted to another realm, however, I cannot recall that either he, or my mother ever advised me to use vinegar to remove lime, had they done so, and had I needed to do so, I very probably would have used it.

The process you describe is pretty much a scaled down version of what I do to clean any corroded old blade.
