  Semi related…I heard a random ad on a podcast today saying that a cup of vinegar in the wash is better than fabric softener. I don’t use fabric softener, but I don’t know where I want to test the vinegar thing…you know, in case the towels come out smelling like vinegar…?

    Surprisingly, no. You can’t smell the vinegar, even with excessive amounts.

    I personally wouldn’t use a whole cup full, but it’s fantastic for getting funky smells out of things

    nope, it gets washed out in the rinse. I always fill the softener in my top loader with white vinegar.

    They don’t. Add to the rinse water, and the smell is gone by the time the spin cycle has finished. I second this hack - vinegar does wonderful things to hair as a rinse too. Unless your hair is coloured, where a vinegar rinse wouldn’t help at all. Mine isn’t coloured, so I rinse with a generous tablespoon of vinegar to 1 litre of water after shampooing, and don’t need conditioner. At first you notice the smell, but it’s gone in 5 minutes. The mild acid neutralises the soap part of washing powder and hair shampoo.

      Silly question but do you add vinegar with the detergent liquid at the start?

        In the rinse, where you’d traditionally put fabric softener.

  i bought some moss river ones about 10 years ago, $120 each, they are still good after much use👍

    Ooh that gives me hope. I got mine from Harris Scarfe (someone from either here or Reddit recommended getting one from there). I love it because it’s so big and cushy and soft 🥰
