It will help brighten, soften and leave your clothes odour-free!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">All vinegar&#8217;s have an acetic acid that works well in getting rid of residue and odour.<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">\u00a0Unlike, dark coloured vinegar you usually see, white distilled vinegar is a little less acidic and most importantly, less stinky!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Here are the benefits of adding vinegar to your laundry routine:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Brightens Colours<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Adding 1\/2 a cup of distilled white vinegar in the final rinse of your laundry will make your clothes brighter and clearer. This is because the vinegar helps to remove residue from the detergent, that causes colours to look dull. Just add the\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">vinegar either inside the drum or in the fabric softener dispenser and you&#8217;re good to go.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Eliminates Lint &amp; Static Cling<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Finding it hard to get rid of lint and static cling on your clothes? Put\u00a01\/2 a cup of white distilled vinegar into your rinse cycle. This will help remove excessive lint and also act as a natural static guard.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Soften Clothes<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">If you refuse to use fabric softener and want a natural alternative, you&#8217;re in luck! Just add 1\/2 a cup of<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">\u00a0white\u00a0distilled vinegar to your final rinse. This is a<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\"> great replacement for f<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">abric softener and doesn&#8217;t leave any residue on clothing. It is also entirely safe for sensitive skin and unlike fabric softener, doesn&#8217;t take away the flame resistant quality of children&#8217;s<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">\u00a0clothing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Banish Odours<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Whether it&#8217;s mildew or underarm odour, white distilled vinegar will do the trick. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Just add 1-2 cups\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">of the vinegar into\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">the washing machine, depending on how bad the smell is and run a complete cycle. Then, run another cycle with detergent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">To remove underarm odour, spray the vinegar directly onto the underarm area and leave for 10 mins before washing as normal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Cleans Your Washing Machine<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">It&#8217;s important that your washing machine is clean to provide the best results for when you go to wash your clothes. Deposits such as soap or mineral deposits can build up which will greatly affect your machines performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Just run an empty\u00a0 hot cycle wash with 2 cups of white distilled vinegar in dispenser.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Don&#8217;t want to bother with these vinegar laundry hacks?
