FAQ:
Q: Will my laundry smell like vinegar?
A: No. The vinegar smell disappears during the rinse cycle, leaving clothes fresh and odor-free.
Q: Can I use apple cider vinegar instead?

Q: Is vinegar safe for all washing machines?
A: Yes, especially for HE machines — it's safe and even helps clean the machine itself.
Q: How often should I use vinegar in laundry?
A: Use it every few washes or weekly for towels and whites. Overuse may weaken elastic over time.
Q: Can I use vinegar and bleach together?
A: No! Mixing vinegar and bleach releases toxic chlorine gas. Always use one or the other — never both.
