I learned the hard way when I started using antiperspirant deotorant instead of my usual aluminum free. To fix it turn all of your shirts inside out mix a spray bottle with half distilled white viniger and half warm water and spray it onto the underarms of your shirts or where odor is . Let it soak for 30 minutes then do a normal cycle also if you have an he machine they clean clothes terribly and barley even wet them so add a couple gallons of water to your clothing and soak them before you start a cycle and it will add more water to the cycle and clean better . Make sure you pore the water in the clothing slowley otherwise before the cycle starts it will drain all of the water then weigh the clothes

It’s healthier for your skin (largest organ of your body) and environment (detergents and softeners are cancer causing) Softners build up on clothing but vinegar washes/rinses away excess detergent.

I also use white vinegar in my wash, cleans, brightens,deodorizes, makes clothes nice and soft. Little bit goes a long and if any lingering scent is there when you open the washer, it will dissipate while drying. I use white vinegar in place of bleach and fabric softener. 1 gallon costs a hell of a lot less than fabric softener or bleach. Also a great natural way to clean around the house (that actually works and you’re not paying for a “green” name.

Absolutely correct! Fabric softener is basically low temperature wax!

My mom never used it while I grew up, when I moved out my boyfriends mom bought it for me to use because she would use it. OMG. Every single thing that touched me made me itch like crazy. I hated it so much and I don’t even have sensitive skin. I stopped using it immediately and after some research starting buying white vinegar and it is truly a game changer i use it in all types of wash loads, it whitens my whites like no other (bleach I rarely use now), it fluffs my towels and I use it in the dishwasher as a rinse aid, I use it on white clothes to spot treat any stains or yellowing, I use it in the sink to deodorize, I pour it in a sponge wand add dish soap and hot water and use it on my glass shower doors, and I mix it with dish soap and water to make a DIY countertop spray. I saved so much $$$ considering EBT covers white vinegar! *edit* Some more tips! You can also descale your kettle by pouring white vinegar in it and boiling, white vinegar poured in a bowl placed in your car/ a room will absorb odors, and I microwave white vinegar in a bowl to loosen all the gunk in the microwave before wiping it away easily. I would love to know if anyone else has any pro tips to add on below :)

The problem isn't fabric softener itself; it's that many people are using it wrong. You can't just dump it into those agitator dispensers, you have to shake the bottle before pouring, and you have to dilute the measured out softener with hot water. Otherwise, the lipids that actually do the softening will come out of solution and stay in the dispenser. (Unless you're using a front loader, in which case the dispenser will dilute the softener itself)

Fabric softner isnt usually a bad thing, its just that people overuse softner and soap. Tid bit for anyone reading this, the jugs of detergent you get tell you to basically fill up the entire cap. This is overexcessive and they tell you to use that much so you go through it faster, so you can run to the store and buy more. A tablespoon is usually good enough for the average load since most the time you wash its more so to freshen up clothes than them needing a deep clean

@johsiantorres8495

Жыл бұрын

Exactly

As a maintenance tech I can say for sure fabric softeners are bad for your machine and clothes. Especially if you use too much. One table spoon, 2 at max for a full load if you insist on using that artificial liquid wax. Use white vinegar. One cup, 2 at max for a bulky/over filled load. It will actually soften your clothes, it will sanitize them and it removes bad odors. You can also put it into the bleach spot that says bleach only. Sure it's a little more expensive in the long run but you don't need it every load and it works much better. If you are worried about the smell sticking to your clothes, don't worry. You might smell it faintly when close by while the machine is running if you have a top load washer but it will not stick to the clothes. Please do not use that liquid wax. It will do more harm that good.

Use fabric softener sheets of you must.

I agree 100% I just started using vinegar yesterday, game changer. My clothes smell clean and fresh

Yup I do vinegar and I swear it helps my clothes actually smell better (probably because it neutralizes odors lol) and then I use dryer balls in the dryer. If you use the wool ones you can drop a drop or 2 on each ball of essential oils to add that touch of great scent!

I started to use it for the towels. Smells much better

I once read a comment from someone who worked for Sears which said that people also tend to use way more soap than they actually need, and it slowly eats away at the machine over time. Since then I only go up to Line 3 for the largest loads and supplement with vinegar; still gets clean, still smells good!

I also run an empty load with a lil vinegar or bleach in between loads too.

Thanks for the tips.I'll do that.I'll save money.

I’ve never used liquid fabric softener in my life.

Oh my, you've convinced me! Thank you!!!

I always use vinegar it takes smell out of your clothes too.

I stopped using it when I moved out my mom house! I was tired of getting yelled at! "TANAE'! I DON'T SMELL MY FABRIC SOFTENER!"

oh you put in on your washing machine. we don't usually do it like that here. We dilute the fab con with a basin of water then soak our clothes for a while wring it then put it in the drier or just hang to dry.

@@Ethnicbeauty I don’t think fabric softener actually cleans the clothing. So it’s just like wetting your clothing, drying it, and then spraying it with perfume lol

This is especially important if you work with anything that is flammable or can start a fire. If you wash your clothes with fabric softener and you catch fire, you will burn easily. This is because it puts a waxy residue on your clothes and turns you into a human candle. Your clothes can melt on to your skin as well vs burning up/off. Also it decreases the absorption of your towels, cloth diapers, and wash rags

If you had to compare how soft the clothes were after the vinegar as opposed to regular fabric softener, how effective would you say it is? Does it also cut down on static as well as the softness?

@arvyarvy4242

@@rem520 I'll say my clothes were softer and there was no static however this could also be because my clothes are mostly natural fibres so I can't say if it's going to be same for artificial fibers. For smell they smelled like my laundry powder very mild though. The one thing I'm certain of is they were definitely softer no crunchiness at all.

I work outside, so i usually dump four dryer sheets into the dryer. Screw the fabric softener. I figure, if every ME Vet has always appreciated all the Bounce I’ve sent them, there must be something to it. I WILL be trying the white vinegar, though.

Fabric softener does soften your clothes but gets rid of static since it reduces friction, vinegar doesn't help with that. If you're having issues because of softener use, it's because you either put too much or you don't use enough water.

Exactly! This guy who posted this video is stupid! If he had any common sense, he'd realize that softener is not the problem. It's how it's used! SMH!!!!

I don't use fabric softener. But in terms of the vinegar - thanks for the tip!

Good advice. I've cleaned even organic free and clear fabric softener out of my washer screen. No more

Fabric softener actually increases the flammability of clothes. Most fabric softeners have warnings about it on their labels. Especially that it decreases the effectiveness of flame retardant fabric.

I have really bad allergies and a few skin conditions so my family stopped using fabric softener awhile ago so seeing this makes me glad we don't for another reason

Been using for as long as I lived, never had a problem with it Okay now,👇 down there, didn't know this would cause a dumb argument. It's a "you" problem if you have it the hard way. Yes, sucks to be you. Have a nice day 🙃.

I read yrs ago some in a article that you could chose any hair conditioner that you liked, and diluted some I think use as fabric softener, that says it all.

Ah, well over here, we use fabric softeners but it's heavily diluted in water as said on the instructions. I love the smell and it does make out clothes and sheets soft.

That softness is a waxy coating. You need to do a laundry strip to remove the build up.

It’s only bad if miss used no problems with it if correct dosing is used

Thanks for the advice, I stopped using fabric softener and now all I use is scentsy candles. I absolutely love it!!! I can now make my clothes smell like my favorite holidays, or even the beach!!!!

Since I don’t use that much fabric softener with each load, never had a problem. All that buildup is caused by people using only cold water which isn’t good for your clothes or the machine itself, along with not adding water to the fabric softener and filling it up to the max line.

But it smells so good

Thank you. It's bad enough when people use that crap in their own washing machines, but it's intolerable when they do so in shared units. Because of scented detergents and fabric softener, I run washing machines three times before I can even put in my clothes.

I use laundry powders and a little of liquid detergent and Dryer sheets for fabric softener and my clothes feel softer and smell way better
