do you add vinegar to wash or rinse cycle? How does it work?

Answer 1

Prevent lint from clinging to clothes by adding 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar to the wash cycle.

To remove soap residue that makes black clothes look dull use white distilled vinegar in your final rinse.

Answer 2

Don't feel dumb. The "bleach compartment" usually adds during the WASHING, not the rinsing. Do you have a compartment for fabric softener? That gets added during the rinse. Sometimes it's on the agitator. Otherwise, yes, you have to open at the rinse and add it. Some years ago I had a Downy fabric softener "ball" and used that for vinegar rinsing.

Answer 3

Vinegar is a great low cost, old school household cleaner. Yes you can include it in your laundry. It will probably kill some lingering bacteria and eliminate pesky odors. Add to the wash cylce.
