Vinegar solution as an alternative to expensive bleach and fabric softeners

Vinegar solution as an alternative to expensive laundry bleach and conditionersBefore every wash, instead of buying chemicals, I add vinegar - I tell you what its advantages are.

First, by using vinegar to wash laundry in the washing machine, you keep the color of washed clothes in their original form. Even a new thing is enough to soak in a solution of vinegar for about ten minutes, and after soaking, you can safely wash it with other laundry. The laundered items become significantly softer.

Vinegar effectively removes the most stubborn dirt, yellow stains, perfectly whitens bedding, shirts. Especially the most problematic areas: sleeves, cuffs, armpit area.

You just have to pour it on stubborn stains

Leave in vinegar for about 10 to 15 minutes. Then soak and wash.

An important point! It is better to soak new laundry in as cold water as possible. And when using vinegar, no powder can be used.

In order to remove particularly severe effects from the smell and dirt, you can boil things in a solution of vinegar, then load them into the washing machine and wash in the normal mode. Especially useful when washing dirty towels or greasy tablecloths, etc. The type of fabric does not matter.

Vinegar solution as an alternative to expensive bleach and fabric softenersVinegar can be used in conjunction with baking soda. Another very effective way to remove tough dirt, grease streaks, blood stains, juice, ketchup, mustard. And no stains on the fabric!

If a vinegar solution is used for rinsing, the detergent is rinsed better, preventing white streaks (a very unpleasant consequence of bad rinsing).

Secondly, a solution of vinegar is good for removing limescale from heating elements.

To do this, pour 3-4 cups of acid into the section for laundry detergent, turn on the machine (you can use any washing program, but it is better - at 60-70 degrees. And race the whole cycle without laundry. All scale will be removed. To prevent this, it is better to clean the washing machine at least once a month.

The use of vinegar for washing laundry in a washing machine softens the water and prolongs the life of your appliance, because hard water is the cause of the unpleasant consequences for its parts.

How to use

Another neat bonus is the low cost of the product combined with its high effectiveness.

This is easy to check. Judge for yourself: the average price of 1 liter of branded bleach or stain remover in supermarkets ranges from 150 to 550 rubles. Add here the cost of laundry conditioner (on average, it is another $ 150-2 dollars per liter of funds). Price of one liter of 9% vinegar solution does not exceed 80 rubles.

Third, vinegar solution destroys any pungent odors (sweat, urine, cigarettes, gasoline, etc.).Of course, it is absolutely unprofitable for firms-manufacturers to make people use such a simple, cheap and effective remedy. That is the reason for the appearance of custom-made articles on the Internet, telling us about the alleged harm of using vinegar for laundry washing. Manufacturers simply have their own interest.

In fact, the vinegar solution is an excellent substitute for any branded bleach and decalcifying agents. Dealt with stains and dirt he is not at all worse than popular household chemicals, but it costs much cheaper. Very good savings on the family budget.

In fact, vinegar solution is even used to wipe the rubber gasket in the washing machine hatch. It is an excellent prevention of mold, harmful bacteria, and other crap. Especially at the bottom of the rubber seal, where moisture accumulates after the operation of the washing machine.

Third, the vinegar solution destroys any pungent odors (sweat, urine, cigarettes, gasoline, etc.).

Fourthly, vinegar is an excellent remedy not only for odor and dirt, but also for disinfecting.

Vinegar has a very valuable property

It is excellent against various bacteria and fungi, which is especially important when caring for baby clothes.

Another plus: vinegar is a natural remedy. It is unlikely to be correct to use, for example, an aggressive bleach for baby clothes. Vinegar, in addition to its bleaching properties, is also hypoallergenic: no rash, no itching, no irritation. Also, the sanitation is excellent.

IMPORTANT: in order to disinfect fabrics, you must use vinegar WITHOUT detergent. In rinse mode! If whitening is required, the vinegar solution is poured into the detergent compartment. No more than 150 - 200 ml.

Fifth, clothes washed with a vinegar solution will cease to stick to the body as the vinegar solution neutralizes the static charge from the items being washed. You only need to add 100 ml of vinegar solution instead of the usual conditioner to the appropriate compartment of the washing machine.

Perhaps the only disadvantage of using vinegar to wash laundry in a washing machine is the smell of vinegar itself. After washing, the smell is really present on things. But in order to get rid of it - you do not need any complicated manipulations. All without a trace evaporates in a couple of hours.

The same goes for the washing machine. Just leave the hatch open for a few hours. There will be no trace of the smell of vinegar.
