I don't think the blush from the sweetwater would be soluble in vinegar (acetic acid). You probably need the ammonia to disolve and remove the surface contamination. I found non-sudsing at a local grocery but it took several trips to find an unscented one.

Be careful. The ammonia is a strong irritant and it will get your eyes/lungs fast. You can get ammonia respirators (which I used) and run lots of ventilation.
