Why do you pour vinegar into the washing machine?

Today it’s the turn to reveal your secrets to vinegar. This is an excellent and hardly replaceable product that will be useful to the housewife both in the kitchen and in the bathroom. Amazing properties allow it to work wonders. But first things first!

Instead of the usual air conditioner

Indeed, after washing with ordinary 9% vinegar, things become much softer, they feel pleasant to the skin and do not at all cause a feeling of hardness and causticity. It is enough to pour half a glass into the conditioner compartment while rinsing; vinegar softens towels especially well.

Experienced housewives recommend soaking things in diluted vinegar for at least an hour before washing.

Retains color

How familiar is that unpleasant feeling when your favorite white T-shirt gradually acquires a yellowish tint or slowly but surely turns gray! It turns out that dilute acid can gently bleach without damaging the fiber structure. In addition, it preserves other colors, allowing you to enjoy the original look of your clothes for a very long time without spending a lot of money on expensive chemicals.

If you use too much powder, a soap scum will form on things, which we can also get rid of with this simple method!

Instead of stain remover

Very often we see advertisements for miraculous liquids that can, as if by magic, get rid of any stubborn stain. They cost a decent amount, and they are easy to replace: vinegar will remove fresh traces of dirt of various origins.

To enhance the effect, you can add soda. The chemical reaction will not leave the stains a chance!

Antibacterial property

Acetic acid is capable of destroying the main types of bacteria that take root safely in a person’s home and clothing. At the same time, it will rid things of unpleasant odors of sweat and “marks” of pets, because these peculiar odors arise due to the proliferation of microorganisms.

When we get tired of old perfume and we buy a new cherished scent, at first we feel a slight mixture of smells, since a persistent perfume can remain on the fabric for some time, absorbed into the fibers. Vinegar can remove all traces, allowing you to enjoy your purchase to the fullest.

Antistatic

Helps relieve static electricity. This is especially true for those who keep cats or dogs at home. Clothing made of wool and with a fleecy surface perfectly collects all the fur of pets, becoming covered with indelible “needles”. After washing with vinegar in the washing machine, it will be very easy to remove all the stuck-on hair!

Using the same principle, rinsing your hair with essence works; it stops “shooting” sparks when combing and fits well into your hairstyle.

Cleaning the washing machine

The device also needs careful care and regular cleaning! To do this, just pour a little liquid into the powder receiver and run the running program without loading.The machine will be protected from scale, mold, bacteria, dirty deposits and unpleasant odors. Prevention is recommended to be carried out at least once a month.

Periodic use is good for the machine!

For children's things

Even the most famous manufacturers of children's powders and gels for washing clothes have cases of allergies. Vinegar is a natural remedy; it does not cause redness or itching on the baby’s delicate skin. At the same time, we carry out disinfection, which is especially important for infants, helping to get rid of pathogens.

How much should I pour?

There are two measures: a glass and half a glass. Half a glass is used when you need to replace:

• air conditioner;
• antistatic;
• bleach;
• color freshener;
• for processing items purchased at a second-hand store.

In these cases, the liquid is poured into the air conditioner compartment.

The glass is poured into the powder receptacle when we need “heavy artillery” to remove difficult stains and treat the washing machine itself. For an integrated approach, you can pour vinegar into all compartments, achieving all goals at once!

Expensive chemicals are not always worth the money, because there are excellent folk recipes that can really surprise you!
