Can you use the vinegar solution more than once?

I have a lamp business and have many brass lamps to be restored. I wanted to know if this vinegar ⇦ in bulk on eBay or Amazon [affil link] and water solution is reusable or do I need to start fresh each time. I would like to be able to do several lamps out of a gallon of vinegar if it will continue to work. I could experiment but if someone already knows it would be helpful. I've been looking for a long time for even the information I have just received.

Thank you all.

You can use it as many times as it will work. When it stops working, change the solution.
