Myths About Dish Soap
Dish soap is good for cleaning dishes which are not porous and can be rinsed thoroughly. Granite, Marble and Grout are all porous which means oils get trapped in the pores and must be lifted out.
The problem is that dish soap when used on countertops will leave a residue. Even after rinsing with a rag or sponge several times has been found to still leave a residue. Even if not noticeable with each application, over time it builds up like soap scum in a shower to the point that the countertop begins to look dull and may even become stained from the residue build up.

Myths About Vinegar
Vinegar consists of acetic acid, a natural and inexpensive acid which is why it has become so popular as a cleaning product. The issue with vinegar is the acid. Though some surfaces are not damaged by acid many are. A little vinegar in the mop water is a one, two punch to some of your surfaces.
The reason that vinegar is not seen as damaging is that some surfaces don’t show the damage immediately, it appears over time. This is often why the finish of a surface is determined to have “worn out”, when it really has been etched away over time. Marble and some metals will show the damage immediately if pure vinegar is used.
