Using White Vinegar in Laundry to Soften Fabrics and Remove Odors
White vinegar is an effective natural laundry aid that softens fabrics, removes odors, and breaks down detergent and mineral buildup. It is best added during the rinse cycle or fabric softener dispenser, especially for sturdy fabrics like cotton and towels. Vinegar helps maintain fabric absorbency and freshness without coating fibers like commercial softeners. Caution is advised when using vinegar on delicate fabrics or those with elastic fibers, and it should not be mixed with bleach or baking soda.
