Debunking Vinegar Myths

❌ “It’ll make my laundry smell like salad dressing!” – Nope! The smell completely disappears after drying.
❌ “It’ll damage my washing machine!” – Actually, vinegar helps clean your machine by dissolving mineral deposits. (Just don’t overuse it—stick to ½-1 cup per load.)

Pro Tip for Extra-Soft Linens

For next-level softness, try adding ½ cup baking soda with your detergent (wash cycle) plus ½ cup vinegar (rinse cycle). The combo boosts cleaning power and softness naturally!

Final Verdict

Skip the expensive fabric softeners and try vinegar instead. It’s cheap, eco-friendly, and incredibly effective—just like my nana’s been saying for years. Your towels and sheets will thank you!
