Why use vinegar in your laundry?
Before entering the step-by-step guide, let’s see why vinegar works so well. Vinegar, especially distilled white vinegar, contains acetic acid, a soft but powerful agent that breaks down dirt, softens tissues and neutralizes odours. Unlike bleach or commercial softeners, vinegar is soft for tissues and does not leave harmful residues. It is also environmentally friendly, making it an excellent choice for those seeking to reduce their environmental footprint.
Main advantages of using vinegar in laundry:
Natural bleaching agent: The acetic acid in vinegar helps break down dirt and stains, making whites brighter without the hardness of bleach.
Alternative to softener: Vinegar removes detergent residue that can cause stiffness, leaving soft and soft towels and clothing.
Removal of odours: Vinegar neutralizes unpleasant odours, ensuring that your laundry smells fresh and clean.
Lightening of colours: Vinegar helps to prevent discolouration of colours by dissolving alkaline deposits left by detergents, thus preserving the radiance of your clothes.
