@@heathers1931 the underarm odor is probabaly because 2 things also, some deotorant has aluminum and when you sweat it out it gets caught in the clothing and keeps the odor trapped in. I learned the hard way when I started using antiperspirant deotorant instead of my usual aluminum free. To fix it turn all of your shirts inside out mix a spray bottle with half distilled white viniger and half warm water and spray it onto the underarms of your shirts or where odor is . Let it soak for 30 minutes then do a normal cycle also if you have an he machine they clean clothes terribly and barley even wet them so add a couple gallons of water to your clothing and soak them before you start a cycle and it will add more water to the cycle and clean better . Make sure you pore the water in the clothing slowley otherwise before the cycle starts it will drain all of the water then weigh the clothes

I stopped using it immediately and after some research starting buying white vinegar and it is truly a game changer i use it in all types of wash loads, it whitens my whites like no other (bleach I rarely use now), it fluffs my towels and I use it in the dishwasher as a rinse aid, I use it on white clothes to spot treat any stains or yellowing, I use it in the sink to deodorize, I pour it in a sponge wand add dish soap and hot water and use it on my glass shower doors, and I mix it with dish soap and water to make a DIY countertop spray. I saved so much $$$ considering EBT covers white vinegar! *edit* Some more tips! You can also descale your kettle by pouring white vinegar in it and boiling, white vinegar poured in a bowl placed in your car/ a room will absorb odors, and I microwave white vinegar in a bowl to loosen all the gunk in the microwave before wiping it away easily.

The problem isn't fabric softener itself; it's that many people are using it wrong. You can't just dump it into those agitator dispensers, you have to shake the bottle before pouring, and you have to dilute the measured out softener with hot water. Otherwise, the lipids that actually do the softening will come out of solution and stay in the dispenser.

As a maintenance tech I can say for sure fabric softeners are bad for your machine and clothes. Especially if you use too much. One table spoon, 2 at max for a full load if you insist on using that artificial liquid wax. Use white vinegar. One cup, 2 at max for a bulky/over filled load. It will actually soften your clothes, it will sanitize them and it removes bad odors. You can also put it into the bleach spot that says bleach only. Sure it's a little more expensive in the long run but you don't need it every load and it works much better. If you are worried about the smell sticking to your clothes, don't worry. You might smell it faintly when close by while the machine is running if you have a top load washer but it will not stick to the clothes. Please do not use that liquid wax. It will do more harm that good.

Fabric softner isnt usually a bad thing, its just that people overuse softner and soap. Tid bit for anyone reading this, the jugs of detergent you get tell you to basically fill up the entire cap. This is overexcessive and they tell you to use that much so you go through it faster, so you can run to the store and buy more. A tablespoon is usually good enough for the average load since most the time you wash its more so to freshen up clothes than them needing a deep clean

[@johsiantorres8495]

Exactly

[@mixofgamez1724]

Ok this is coming from someone legit in the laundry field....if you are not going to use fabric softener USE LESS SOAP!! softener isn't just for clothes and scent it helps cut down soap suds as well. Take what you hear from this one video and one machine with a grain of salt, I use the downy softener release ball for all my loads and never have an issue with buildup. People please remember these videos are for views and likes so they will exaggerate alot of information. That one washer must've seen years of people adding way too much product into it. I will forever and always use fabric softener.

Yup I do vinegar and I swear it helps my clothes actually smell better (probably because it neutralizes odors lol) and then I use dryer balls in the dryer. If you use the wool ones you can drop a drop or 2 on each ball of essential oils to add that touch of great scent!

LOVE this idea!!

oh you put in on your washing machine. we don't usually do it like that here. We dilute the fab con with a basin of water then soak our clothes for a while wring it then put it in the drier or just hang to dry.

This is especially important if you work with anything that is flammable or can start a fire. If you wash your clothes with fabric softener and you catch fire, you will burn easily. This is because it puts a waxy residue on your clothes and turns you into a human candle. Your clothes can melt on to your skin as well vs burning up/off. Also it decreases the absorption of your towels, cloth diapers, and wash rags

Fun fact. Vinegar removes water deposits and rust from your machine. It also removes water deposits from your clothes, makes them soft and aids in cleaning. Vinegar is 5% acetic acid, and it won’t hurt rubber. I run a detailing shop. My microfibres are far dirtier than clothes. They last 100-300 wash cycles. Vinegar is key

Ah, well over here, we use fabric softeners but it's heavily diluted in water as said on the instructions. I love the smell and it does make out clothes and sheets soft.

[@daniellemartin9896]

That softness is a waxy coating. You need to do a laundry strip to remove the build up.

[@riskydabs3710]

I use laundry powders and a little of liquid detergent and Dryer sheets for fabric softener and my clothes feel softer and smell way better

[@mackjeez]

Fabric softener does soften your clothes but gets rid of static since it reduces friction, vinegar doesn't help with that. If you're having issues because of softener use, it's because you either put too much or you don't use enough water.

[@jeromedavis8575]

Exactly! This guy who posted this video is stupid! If he had any common sense, he'd realize that softener is not the problem. It's how it's used! SMH!!!!

I'm gonna try the vinegar on my next wash. Ps. I tried it and it was great my clothes felt so soft no crunchiness.

[@rem520]

If you had to compare how soft the clothes were after the vinegar as opposed to regular fabric softener, how effective would you say it is? Does it also cut down on static as well as the softness?

[@arvyarvy4242]

@@rem520 I'll say my clothes were softer and there was no static however this could also be because my clothes are mostly natural fibres so I can't say if it's going to be same for artificial fibers. For smell they smelled like my laundry powder very mild though. The one thing I'm certain of is they were definitely softer no crunchiness at all.

I once read a comment from someone who worked for Sears which said that people also tend to use way more soap than they actually need, and it slowly eats away at the machine over time. Since then I only go up to Line 3 for the largest loads and supplement with vinegar; still gets clean, still smells good!

I actually often use a tiny amount of fabric softener mixed with vinegar. I find that vinegar alone sometimes leaves some scent behind, but this prevents it. It also helps prevent mold from forming in the machine. Just don't use any fabric softener with any "fibrous" fabrics such as towels, fleece, microfiber, plush etc. That will "clog" and ruin them, use pure vinegar instead as it helps to get rid of any detergent residue and buildup. Also if you want to keep your towels and blankets soft and fluffy, run them shortly in a dryer on a warm quick cycle and allow the rest to air dry. They need to be fluffied up by the dryer but excess heat will make them harder.
