I often work in hot, oily, dusty environments. So if I don’t wash in hot, the smell and stains aren’t coming out. And I can’t be arsed to separate it.

Stains and chemical smells are their own thing, but a 1/4 cup of white vinegar in the pre wash takes care of any biologic smells my clothes get.

  How diluted is the vinegar you’re using?

    Just straight vinegar. It’s going into a swirling machine full of water. It will dilute itself.

    I use the same 5% I use for cooking. Nothing special.

I also have a dusty environment where I work and wash my work clothes with my underwear in 60 degrees Celsius and my casual wear I wash in 40 degrees Celsius. Then I only need to do two machines. One 60 and one 40 degrees
