Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Will my laundry smell like vinegar?
A: Not at all! The vinegar scent dissipates during the rinse cycle, leaving your clothes fresh and neutral.
Q: Is vinegar safe for all fabrics?
A: Vinegar is generally safe for most fabrics, but avoid using it on delicate silks or very dark colors frequently, as it may cause fading over time.
Q: Can I use apple cider vinegar instead?
A: It’s best to stick with distilled white vinegar for laundry. Apple cider vinegar may stain lighter fabrics and is less effective at odor neutralization.
Q: Can I replace fabric softener with vinegar permanently?
A: Yes! Many people make a full switch to vinegar as a softener, especially for towels and linens.
