Q: Can I use this method with all types of detergent?
A: Yes, it works well with liquid, powder, and even eco-friendly detergents.
Q: What about colored clothes? Will vinegar fade them?
A: Vinegar is safe for colors and can help preserve brightness by balancing pH and removing detergent residues.
Q: Can I use baking soda and vinegar together directly in the wash?
