Vinegar does NOT make your clothes smell of vinegar. It helps take soap residue off your laundry, so there won't be as much soap smell, either.
But the vinegar naturally softens the laundry, the smell evaporates ( I don't even notice it when I take it out of the washer).
i used to use vinegar in the rinse cycle all the time, as my dd and I have sensitivities to the detergent, but since i started using the home made soap, I don't even need the vinegar.
I have been line drying for years, since before it was the "in" thing to do. cool
My clothes are pretty soft with the home made soap, but I don't line dry...Maybe some vinegar, line dry, and then fluff in the dryer for 10 min. Better than 50-70 mins each especially if I combine the loads. And less trips; I can bring several loads in at once and fluff in the dryer. Great info!
vinegar is a wonder substance isnt it? I have heard to clean your house with vinegar and would like to, but I don't want it to smell like vinegar
I clean my house with vinegar, and I prefer it to other cleaners, mainly b/c of the smell. Once the vinegar evaporates, you can't smell it, whereas if you use an ammonia base cleaner, you can smell that for a while afterwards. vinegar does not irritate my sinuses like commercial cleaners either.
I fill a squirt bottle of 1/2 water, 1/2 vinegar to clean bathtubs, showers etc. pure cinegar to clean windows and glass tables. I clean floors with it jsut about anything!!
OK, back to clotheslines....
