To remove stains, spray the affected area with vinegar and allow it to sit for ten to fifteen minutes before washing. If it is a mild stain, you can soak the item instead in a mixture of one cup of vinegar with two cups of warm water.

You can remove harsh stains by using a paste made from one tablespoon of baking soda and vinegar, but do this sparingly

3. Protect Colors

Soapy residue can often stick to the fibers of your clothing. This can make dark items become lighter after several washes. To prevent this, put half to one cup into the final rinse cycle, and keep your dark colors dark

4. Lint and Static Fighter

White vinegar helps to repel static, lint, and pet hair from laundry. Drop ½ cup of vinegar into your washer’s rinse cycle.

5. Use as a Fabric Softener

Because it breaks down detergent residue, it can be used to soften your clothes, linens, and towels. Instead of a commercial fabric softener, add a half cup of vinegar to the fabric softener dispenser in your machine and let it do its magic

6. Gentle Whitener

Vinegar brightens and whitens without harsh chemicals. You can use it on normal loads or to remove stubborn stains from whites by adding 1 ½ cups of vinegar to the wash cycle.

If you’re not afraid of hot water, conquer discoloration like underarm stains by soaking white items in ½ gallon of hot water and 2 cups of vinegar overnight. Wash as directed.
