Here’s How to Use Vinegar Correctly to Whiter Whites and Softer Towels

 

How to Use Vinegar for Whiter Whites and Softer Towels

Vinegar is a natural and affordable laundry booster that helps brighten whites, soften towels, and remove odors. Here’s how to use it effectively:

1. Brightening White Clothes

• Add ½ to 1 cup of distilled white vinegar to the rinse cycle of your washing machine.
• It removes detergent buildup and helps prevent yellowing or graying of white fabrics.
• For extra stubborn stains, soak clothes in a mixture of 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water before washing.

2. Softening Towels

• Over time, towels become stiff due to detergent and fabric softener buildup.
• Replace fabric softener with ½ cup of vinegar in the rinse cycle to restore softness and absorbency.
• For deep cleaning, wash towels with hot water and 1 cup of vinegar, then run a second wash with baking soda (optional).

3. Removing Odors and Bacteria

• Vinegar naturally disinfects and removes musty or sweat odors.
• Add ½ cup to the wash cycle to eliminate lingering smells.
• Works great for gym clothes, socks, and mildew-prone fabrics.

4. Preventing Color Fading

• Adding ½ cup of vinegar to dark or colored clothes during the rinse cycle helps maintain vibrant colors.

Tips for Best Results

• Use white distilled vinegar (not apple cider vinegar) to prevent staining.
• Avoid using vinegar with bleach—it creates harmful fumes.
• If your washing machine has a fabric softener compartment, pour vinegar there for easy use.
