Why You Should Add Vinegar to Your Wash Loads

We've all seen the commercials for laundry boosters that promise to whiten our whites and remove our toughest stains, but guess what? You don't need them.

For a frugal laundry booster (and we're talking pennies a load frugal), just add a cup of white vinegar to your washer's rinse cycle. It's one solution that's as simple as it is effective.

The Benefits of a Vinegar Laundry Booster

Vinegar Will:

* whiten your whites
* brighten your colors
* eliminate static-cling
* remove lint
* prevent the dye in new clothing from running
* kill any bacteria present in your laundry
* remove soap residue from fabric and your machine
* soften your laundry, without the use of fabric softeners
* neutralize any odors

Why This Works

The acetic acid in vinegar acts as a solvent and disinfectant – just what you need to fight your toughest laundry challenges.
Warnings

As with any cleaner, you should avoid all contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin
