1. White Vinegar
White vinegar is an incredibly versatile product when it comes to household cleaning, and laundry is no exception. Its natural properties help break down dirt and grime while also acting as a fabric softener. Best of all, vinegar is gentle on fabrics, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin or allergies.
How to Use White Vinegar:
Add ½ to 1 cup of white vinegar to your regular detergent during the washing cycle.
For stubborn stains on collars or underarms, apply white vinegar directly to the stained area and let it sit for an hour before rinsing.
Vinegar also works well in combination with other natural ingredients, like lemon juice, to give clothes a fresh, clean scent.
