How to Use Vinegar in the Laundry Room
Vinegar is a Miracle Laundry Product
By Mary Marlowe Leverette, About.com Guide
Inexpensive white distilled vinegar can be used to whiten, brighten, reduce odor, remove mildew and green your laundry by reducing your use of chemicals. Keep a bottle next to your detergent to keep laundry looking its best.
Specific questions? Just ask here.
The acid in white distilled vinegar is so mild that it will not harm fabrics in the laundry; yet is strong enough to dissolve residues (alkalies) left by soaps and detergents. Just adding 1/2 cup vinegar to the final rinse will result in brighter, clearer colors.
Leaving wet towels in a hamper or a load of wet clothing in the laundry washer creates mildew and a moldy smell. To get everything smelling fresh, complete these two steps:
Using hot water, add two cups of white distilled vinegar to the wash cycle and wash the moldy clothes. Then run a normal cycle with detergent.
White distilled vinegar acts as a natural fabric softener leaving no residue on laundry. Just add 1/2 cup to the final rinse. This should be used with all fire-retardant children's clothing. Commercial fabric softeners interfere with fire retardant qualities.
The mild acid in vinegar acts as a whitener and brightens dingy clothes in the laundry. To get stained white socks and dingy dishcloths white again, add 1 cup white distilled vinegar to a large pot of water. Heat to boiling and add the articles. Let soak overnight and then launder as usual. This should only be used on 100 percent cotton clothing.
Add 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar to the laundry's wash cycle to prevent lint and pet hair from clinging to clothes.
Fill a spray bottle with distilled white vinegar and keep it on hand in the laundry room. To remove perspiration odor and stains on clothing spray the vinegar on underarm and collar areas before tossing them into the washing machine. The vinegar will help to cut through residual deodorant left on clothing and prevent underarm yellowing.
If your washable clothing reeks of cigarette or cigar smoke odor, add 1/2 cup vinegar to your laundry wash cycle. For nonwashable clothing, fill the bathtub with very hot water and 1 cup white distilled vinegar. Hang the garments above the steaming water and shut the door so the steam can penetrate the fibers.
Adding 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar to laundry's final rinse will remove soap residue that makes black clothes look dull.
