What kind of vinegar to use when washing clothes to remove odor?

there's a half dozen types of vinegar; which do I use in the laundry? Are there any fabrics or colors I should be careful with when washing with vinegar? (gonna try it to get cig smell out of clothes)





Oh, and should I wait to pour vinegar into water (like when using fab softener) or OK to pour directly onto clothes before washer fills up with water? What about simply adding some vinegar to my bottle of liquid detergent?What kind of vinegar to use when washing clothes to remove odor?
White vinegar. Just pour a cup into the washer.What kind of vinegar to use when washing clothes to remove odor?
white vinegar. . . poor vinegar in washer with soap before you put the clothes in. No, don't add directly to liquid detergent. I don't know what the chemical reaction would be. Good Luck!
I would just add a cup of plain white vinegar to the wash cycle. I wouldn't try mixing it directly with your detergent. It probably won't hurt to pour it directly on the clothes but best not to find out. If the clothes will be dried in a machine, use one or two scented fabric softener sheets. To remove the odor without washing, put some hot water with vinegar in the bathtub and hang the clothes above so the steam will rise up on them. Keep the door closed so the steam won't escape.
Soak clothes in white vinegar/ water solution first, then wash. The clothes will smell for a while, but airing them out or laying in the sun will make the smell go away faster.
They are right use white vinegar and water solution. pour about 1/8 cup in a cup of water then add that to the soak water. then add the item,use at least enough water to cover the item with an inch to spare. You do not need a lot. give it about 20 minutes and check it then it it needs a little longer you can give it another 10-20 minutes. rinse then wash as normal.


This is a pre soak solution. soak before washing .


cold water. you could also put a cup of vinegar in the corner of a closet and close the door it will remove all the smells from the clothes but it will be an over night job.


If you are just washing something you could wash it and add baking soda instead of vinegar.


Some detergents come with baking soda.


Usually if anyone adds vinegar to laundry it is only to soak before washing . 1/2 cup to a load is good make sure the water and detergent go in and then add the clothes. use a full load or large load setting so that you will have enough water to clean properly. (unless it is just one item like a shirt) then you need a medium setting.
