Extra-Soothing Blend: Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable glycerin for additional softness—great for towels and linens.
Citrus Boost: Use orange or grapefruit essential oils for a zesty, energizing aroma.
Sensitive Skin Version: Skip the essential oils entirely and stick with just vinegar and baking soda for an unscented, hypoallergenic option.
FAQs:
Q: Will the vinegar make my clothes smell?
A: Not at all! The vinegar smell dissipates during the rinse cycle, leaving your laundry fresh and neutral or lightly scented (if you use essential oils).
Q: Can I use this in HE (high-efficiency) machines?
A: Yes! Just use a slightly smaller amount (about ¼ cup) and add it to the designated softener dispenser.
Q: Is this safe for baby clothes and cloth diapers?
A: Absolutely—especially the unscented version. It's gentle and chemical-free, which is ideal for sensitive skin.
Q: Can I use apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar?
A: Technically yes, but it may leave a slight tint or scent. White vinegar is preferred for its clarity and neutral odor.
