Thanks for asking this question, i forgot a load for 2 days.How do I wash clothes with vinegar to remove the smell of forgetting to remove the clothes from the washer?
Here are two methods and I have used both and had good luck with each:





The Vinegar Method


Put your towels in the washing machine, using the hottest water available. Add one or two cups of white vinegar. Do not add detergent, fabric softener, or any other products at this time. Run the washer.


Leave the towels in the washer and wash the same load again just as you would normally with laundry soap. Again, use the hottest water available. Don't use fabric softener or any other products.


Dry the load in the dryer using a high heat setting. Towels should be thoroughly dry when you pull them out. If they're not dry, put them back in, or move them immediately outside and hang them in the sunlight.





The Ammonia Method


Put your towels in the washing machine.


Add a normal amount of detergent.


Use the hottest water available. Do not add fabric softener or any other products.


Watch for the rinse cycle and add one cup of sudsy or clear ammonia during the rinse cycle.


Let the washing machine finish.


Move the towels out of the washer immediately. Fully dry the load right away using normal dryer settings, or hanging on the line on a sunny day.
