Add 1 cup of vinegar to the drum with your detergent for smelly clothes or gym gear.
To Clean the Washing Machine:
Run an empty load on the hottest setting with 2 cups of vinegar. This removes limescale and detergent buildup, keeping your machine in top shape.
Tips for Best Results
Use distilled white vinegar to avoid discoloration from darker vinegar varieties.
Avoid mixing vinegar with bleach, as this can release harmful fumes.
For a light scent, add a few drops of essential oil to the vinegar before using it.
Why Skip Store-Bought Softeners?
While store-bought fabric softeners leave your clothes smelling nice, they often coat fabrics with synthetic chemicals that reduce absorbency and cause wear over time. Vinegar, on the other hand, cleans and softens without leaving residue, making it the better choice for both your laundry and the environment.
Conclusion:
Next time you do laundry, reach for vinegar instead of harsh chemicals. It’s an affordable, eco-friendly, and effective way to achieve whiter whites, softer towels, and fresher clothes. Try it out today—you might never go back to traditional fabric softeners again!
