How to Use Vinegar in Laundry

For Soft Towels & Perfectly White Clothes

✨ Why It Works:

White vinegar is a natural fabric softener and deodorizer. It breaks down detergent and fabric softener residue, removes musty smells, and brightens whites — all without harsh chemicals.

For Soft Towels:

1. Load Towels into the Washer

   • Wash only towels (no mixed fabrics for this routine).

2. Add ½ to 1 cup of white vinegar

   • Pour directly into the fabric softener compartment or during the rinse cycle if your machine doesn’t have one.

3. Skip fabric softener!

4. Use hot water (if safe for your fabric)

5. Dry completely in the dryer or sun-dry with wool dryer balls for extra softness.
