Vinegar is the secret to softer towels, whiter whites, and other laundry solutions

Cleaning the home and doing the laundry can be an exhausting task many dread. On top of that, cleaning supplies such as detergents, all purpose cleaners, fabric softeners, stain removers, and more, can cost a fortune. At the same time, they often contain chemicals that can irritate the skin and harm the environment.

Luckily, there are other ways to keep your home and laundry clean.

One thing that we all have in our homes and is an affordable, eco-friendly option with many benefits for us and our household is the vinegar.

Thanks to its high acidity, distilled white vinegar is a versatile and powerful cleaner for various laundry tasks. With a pH of 2.5, it effectively removes stains and softens rough towels. At the same time, it can help eliminate the odor.

Take a look at the different uses of vinegar for laundry below.

1. Odor Remover
Vinegar is highly effective at neutralizing unpleasant odors of your clothes. It eliminates the bacteria responsible for odors such as mildew, sweat, and other unpleasant smells. For mildew in towels, add 2 cups of vinegar to hot water in the washing machine. To freshen clothes, add half a cup to a cup of vinegar during the rinse cycle.

2. Stain Remover
If you want to treat clothes that have stains, simply spray some vinegar on the spot before putting the clothing into the washing machine. For minor stains, soak the item in a solution of one cup of vinegar combined with two cups of warm water. For more stubborn stains, create a paste using one tablespoon of vinegar and one tablespoon of baking soda and rub it directly on the stain.

3. Color Protector
Adding a cup of vinegar to the final rinse cycle keeps the color of the dark clothes vibrant and prevents the detergent from fading them.

4. Static and Lint Reducer
Vinegar can also serve as an effective static and lint reducer in your laundry. Simply add half a cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle to help reduce static cling in fabrics and loosen lint.

5. Fabric Softener Alternative
For removing any leftover detergent on your clothes and making sure they remain soft, add vinegar in the fabric softener compartment of the washing machine. This way your clothes will remain soft without spending any money on store-bought softeners.

If you have any concerns about your clothes smelling like vinegar, don’t worry because the smell fades away once the clothing, or the towel is completely dried.
