Vinegar is a completely irreplaceable assistant in your household. Supplementing baking powder is the least it can do. Personally I’ve used these two instead of most detergents and rather pleased with the results. But now I’m going to show you how this cheap tool can help with the washing. Considering the range of vinegar application, you’ll save on your cleanser bills.
Learn these tricks vinegar can perform:
1. Makes the linen soft and smooth
Add one cup of white vinegar into the conditioner drawer, and enjoy the results. The thing is that clothing, towels and even children articles have a protective chemical layer of manufacturing steeping, which isn’t severe, though, but nevertheless needs to be cleaned off. Washing your stuff with vinegar will gently and effectively remove it. Besides, vinegar serves as antistatic as well.
2. Kills the bacteria
It’s wrong to think that only severe detergents with bleach are good surface disinfectants. Vinegar also perfectly copes with this task. Washing machines often store huge amounts of dirt and bacteria. To get rid of them, fill the washing powder drawer with two cups of vinegar and choose the rinse cycle.
3. On guard of linen color
Advertisers and manufacturers of conditioners and softeners don’t hurry up to tell about this vinegar’s skill. But it’s not about them. You should know that if you presoak a colorful article in a solution of water and vinegar (1:1), it won’t fade.
4. Serves as a natural bleach
Vinegar has an amazing ability to turn grayed clothes back into white and remove stains. Normally it takes 1 cup of vinegar added before washing to keep your stuff white. When it comes to particularly difficult cases, you need to presoak the articles in a solution of water and vinegar (5:2).
5. Removes the smell of workout clothes
Sometimes even washing can’t get rid of this unpleasant smell of the clothes you’ve been actively practicing in. This issue is easily solved by 1–2 cups of vinegar added do your machine before running a washing cycle.
6. Gets rid of new stains
Spray new stains under the armpits or on the collar with pure vinegar and leave it off for some time. Older stains will require a little more vinegar and double treatment.
7. Cleans a washer
Sometimes your washing machine needs personal cleaning. For deep cleansing, take 5 cups of vinegar and run the standard wash cycle. It’s enough to repeat this procedure once a month to remove lime scale, dirt, bacteria and residues of detergent.
