Frugal Laundry Booster

Came across this tidbit also:

For a frugal laundry booster (and we're talking pennies a load frugal), just add a cup of white vinegar to your washer's rinse cycle. It's one solution that's as simple as it is effective.

The Benefits of a Vinegar Laundry Booster

Vinegar Will:

• whiten your whites
• brighten your colors
• eliminate static-cling
• remove lint
• prevent the dye in new clothing from running
• kill any bacteria present in your laundry
• remove soap residue from fabric and your machine
• soften your laundry, without the use of fabric softeners
• neutralize any odors

Why This Works

The acetic acid in vinegar acts as a solvent and disinfectant – just what you need to fight your toughest laundry challenges.

Warnings

As with any cleaner, you should avoid all contact with the eyes and prolonged contact with the skin
