How To Use Distilled Vinegar in Your Laundry

Some people have asked about the quantity of Distilled Vinegar to use when doing laundry.
I use 1/4 cup per load.
The distilled vinegar does not go in your laundry detergent. You treat it just like fabric softener.
When I do laundry I put it in the fabric softener cup of my washer.

I hope this answers any question you had, and please continue to leave comments. You never know if your question will help someone else out.

According to Erin Huffstetler from Frugal Living there is another use for the Distilled White Vinegar in the Laundry Room. One cup of Distilled White Vinegar used in the rinse cycle of your laundry will:

whiten your whites
brighten your colors
eliminate static-cling
remove lint
prevent the dye in new clothing from running
kill any bacteria present in your laundry
remove soap residue from fabric and your machine
soften your laundry, without the use of fabric softeners
neutralize any odors

The acetic acid in vinegar acts as a solvent and disinfectant--just what you need to fight your toughest laundry challenges.

With having young children in my household, I would much prefer to keep a gallon of Vinegar around instead of Bleach. Plus it is better for the Earth.
