Sign in to disble this ad
My mom told me to use white vinegar instead of fabric softener in the washing machine. It makes your clothes soft, leaves no scent, preserve the colour better, is way cheaper and it is better for the piping in the washing machine. Any experiences? I just put my towels in with some detergent and vinegar. |

But seriously - no I've never tried that. I have heard that white vinegar run through a coffee maker will clean it very nicely.

Everything that comes out of the dryer is soft enough for me  I use white vinagar for some of my metal processes. It's amazing stuff but it ain't goin in my washin machine  |

If you don't use fabric softener, the stuff gets all stiff and nasty.
