Doing laundry is one of the most boring and time-consuming household chores, but also one that requires greater attention, since we certainly don’t want to damage our favorite clothes.
Having a perfect laundry is important not only to remove stains from clothes, but also to avoid ruining them and extend their useful life.
Luckily, there is a natural ingredient that, in addition to being safe, is very useful in many different ways in the laundry sector: below we suggest all the benefits of vinegar for doing laundry.
Boost your detergent
Adding 100 ml of vinegar to the wash cycle increases the effectiveness of the detergent.
Vinegar has the ability to penetrate the fibers of the fabric to remove dirt and protect the material. It also helps make colors more vibrant.
Natural fabric softener
Vinegar has all the properties of an industrial laundry softener, but without all the chemicals that the latter contains.
Pour a small amount of vinegar into the fabric softener basket of your washing machine: contrary to what you might think, vinegar leaves a wonderful aroma in your laundry.
Remove sweat stains
The acidic properties of vinegar help remove sweat and deodorant stains that build up under shirts and blouses.
Soak the clothes in a bucket full of warm water and add a glass of vinegar, then wash as normal.
Detergent powder residues
Residues from powdered detergents accumulate both between the fibres of fabrics and in the washing machine.
To prevent this from happening, add 150ml of vinegar to the washing machine cycle.
Neutralizes odors
Adding vinegar to your laundry will help neutralize any kind of bad odor.
