Put VINEGAR Into Your WASHING MACHINE and WATCH WHAT HAPPENS! 💥

[@wendyp8488]

I confirm vinegar works great as a final rinse instead of fabric softener! I’ve been using it for years. It’s funny how many people think that vinegar could damage or corrode the machine - when bleach is much more corrosive.

[@CleanWithConfidence]

You are correct!! 🙂🙂 Thanks for the testimony

[@loving_lioness3518]

Same! I use it for odor and as an alternative fabric softener. I put 2/3 vinegar 1/3 water in one of those downy balls (they open on the rinse cycle)

[@postysbaby]

What detergent you use?

[@candilease6618]

So it doesn’t leave your clothes with the stinky vinegary smell??? That’s my concern! I don’t worry about corrosion at all.. but I mix my whites and dark a lot on a cold wash if I only have a little of both to make a load…. So would the vinegar harm the colors ….??

This works. I spent the 90s in a Metal band and this is the only way to kill the funk in stage clothes. For a full size load, briefly agitate liquid Tide, 1 to 1.5 cups white vinegar, and 2-3 drops (I literally mean drops, not squirts) of Dawn dish soap. Then add clothing to washer. Don't use more than 1.5 cups of vinegar. You'll risk smelling vinegar-esque.

I've used vinegar for over 30 years ij my washing in lieu of fabric softener. I see a lot of people worried about their washer. 10 years in first house using same machines, no issues from vinegar. This house 23 years and on 2nd set of machines and no issues from vinegar. All my family and friends who have taken y advice to try are impressed. I may try the tip to use in bleach dispenser but have always used in the fabric softener cup. No odors ever from vinegar not he fabrics. I feel this eliminates using toxic chemicals and better or the environment than dumping those chemicals into the water waste system.

[@ilovegoodsax]

[@arkrainflood]

i use white vinegar in the softener dispenser. i am concerned that there may be a negative reaction of the vinegar with the detergent, for example, if the detergent has a alkaline agent then the vinegar (an acid) would react making a salt, therefor cancelling each other out for cleaning. fyi, i have see in a few places about vinegar damaging the rubber parts of the washer and not recommended by manufacturers. but since i use only a few ounces i am not worried.

[@CleanWithConfidence]

No the vinegar works great as a laundry booster! As far as damaging the rubber parts, It won't damage them because it is diluted in all the water giving it a much milder ph. If it was straight vinegar than yes you would be correct.

[@paullastnamehere3295]

If you have a dishwasher with a clear lid, do a wash with clothes or towels that you have washed with soap before, but don't add soap. Instead, add a cup of white vinegar and you will think that soap was added as the water becomes bubbly. For towels this will help them absorb more water as well. For extra bonus, do another rinse cycle with just baking soda. Obviously, don't add vinegar and baking soda at the same time.

@@quartz3150 Just make sure to put it in your rinse water, not your fabric softener dispenser. I used to do this til I found out quite by accident that the fabric softener dispenser dispenses during the spin part of the rinse cycle, so it gets deposited on your clothes (like fabric softener is meant to) and stays there.

@@mswanson819 the one flaw with a SQ TC5 is the final spin cycle on regular loads or sheet cycle. The spin cycle is very fast (which is good) but the water pump is overly aggressive and continues pumping even when the water is gone which causes foaming. The foam comes out of the drain stand. If a little vinegar is placed in the agitator for the rinse, it helps prevent the foam.
