10 Simple Laundry Prep Solutions

My friend and I started a wash and fold laundry service from our homes. I think my favorite tip we found is white vinegar. We put some white vinegar in the rinse cycle and it acts as a natural fabric softner while saving money!

I use stain stick for most stuff. It works great and works even better after it has set on the stain a while. I have more trouble with my clothes souring becuase I sometimes forget to transfer that last load to the dryer. I've tried re-washing but that doesn't work. You gotta use a cup of vinegar either just a rinse or with the wash, either way is fine. I always bleach towels and rags (colored or not) and the rest of the whites. Towels and rags fade over time espcially cheap ones, but I'd rather know what touched my butt has been sanitized before it touches my face next time!

What about removing Hershey-squirt stains.. HEHEHEHE

most important thing i learned and looked into was the machine is it clean inside good. use cold or warm. heat cuts the soap power down quicker than cold. use a detergent your happy and can trust or rely on. regardless of the price. i found out that better soaps do clean better than cheap brands. i prefer a soap that soften the water more. Like Ariel , tide, gain,. Adding Baking soda to the wash helps out alot. i add like half the box. unless i can afford to get 20 mule team brand. Softer water gives the soap better clean power and rinse better. u actually use less soap or you might cause the machine to suds up heavy. .avoid dryers. hang out in sun clothes will last and look better longer.

Add some vinegar to your wach load to keep expensive jeans looking like new. The vinegar helps keep the wash (color) of the jeans the same instead of fading after washing.

White Distilled Vinegar is Nature's disinfectant and cleanser, however, I do not believe it is a fabric softener. Have you ever gotten it on your hands? It burns and drys them out. And it removes the natural porcelain from your teeth. So how on earth could it be a fabric softener? I hope all are using non-toxic ingredients for cleansing in every way to help save Mother Earth. I use vinegar to clean and disinfect cabinets, counter tops, water faucet handles, refrigerator door handles, cupboards and their handles, the floors, table tops, bathroom tiles and all sinks, and to get rid of ants and other insects that come into the house looking for water on hot, dry days.
