What will happen when you mix washing soda and vinegar?
It will dissolve and give off lots of bubbles of carbon dioxide gas, as well as dragging the smell of the vinegar along with it into the air.
Why do we add vinegar or salt at the time of washing new clothes if colors bleed?
Most dyes are done in an acid bath. By putting vinegar and salt in the first wash of new clothes gives them a bath in ';acid'; which reinforces the dye.
Laundry soaps are 90% alkaline (as any soap is). When you wash new clothes in detergent, you accelerate the dye loss because you have placed them in an alkaline environment. Same for subsequent washes.
You may ask then why not make ';acid'; soaps? Because alkaline environments do better at solubilizing and suspending dirt. Also alkaline better helps to remove oils, fats, and proteins which make up a large part of ';regular'; wear dirt.
Any of these ';new'; products for black clothes only or any other type of ';special'; soap just plays on the balance between acids/alkalies or PH Neutral environments so that the color stays better and is enhanced by some fiber enhancers.Why do we add vinegar or salt at the time of washing new clothes if colors bleed?
I've been told the acidic content in white vinegar will help ';set'; the color in. But obviously, as you wash, the dyes will wash away too.
I've never added vinegar to my wash cycle, only the rinse cycle though.....well,, by adding it to the fabric softener compartment, which essentially is the same thing.

Can I put vinegar in the washing machine, with my clothing. . . ?
instead of javex bleach? I have some towels that seem to have mildew or something, I want to be more green and so I don't want to use bleach. But I know bleach would kill the mildew, so if i use vinegar instead, will that work just as well? If not what can I put in the wash to kill the mildew? I have tried just washing them in hot water with soap, but the mildew is still there. Can I put vinegar in the washing machine, with my clothing. . . ?
vinegar will not likely kill the mildew. I would use Borax or an oxygen bleach. I do use vinegar as a fabric softener.Can I put vinegar in the washing machine, with my clothing. . . ?
Mildew can stain even after it's died so you need something that will both kill it and address the stain. I'd try Borax for a more eco-friendly alternative to chlorine bleach.
I hope this helps...

Who uses Baking Soda/Borax/Washing Soda/White Vinegar in the laundry?
I use baking soda in the wash, it removes odors, and softens the water to help the detergent work better. I use the amount of detergent for a small load, for an extra large load. Then I use the white vinegar in the rinse. Not only does it work as a great fabric softener, it also kills germs and bacteria. I use vinegar for all sorts of cleaning jobs; from laundry to kitchen and bath counters, to windows and mirrors, and tile and linoleum floors. It's a great natural antibacterial and germ fighter.Who uses Baking Soda/Borax/Washing Soda/White Vinegar in the laundry?
I use baking soda as a water softener; and white vinegar as a clothes softener I get both at the dollar store. Vinegar does just as good a job as expensive softeners like Bounce etc and is much cheaper.
I use borax occasionally for really Gounod in dirtWho uses Baking Soda/Borax/Washing Soda/White Vinegar in the laundry?
I use Washing Soda on a somewhat regular basis, especially for things like really dirty jeans, sweaty gym clothes and dirty white socks. It does make the detergent work better and gets rid of odors that you'd rather not have around!
It's cheap and you don't need to use a lot!
I use baking soda on a regular basis, but have never used white vinegar. Might help with the whites, but white vinegar is kind of expensive isn't it? 5 pounds of baking soda is CHEEP! CHEEP! CHEEP! Especially at COSTCO.
I use white vinegar in the coffee maker to clean the calcium and **** out.

Washing out hair dye with white vinegar?
I've read somewhere that it helps bring out a better color. Is that true?
I'm in the process of bleaching my hair right now, then afterward I'm going to apply red dye to it.
If the washing-out-with-vinegar thing is true, how long should I leave it in, and do I use cold/warm water?Washing out hair dye with white vinegar?
Its mostly for getting off dye on your hands. But however, it does bring out certain colors. You would probaly leave it in for about 15- 20 minutes, and wash out with cold water.Washing out hair dye with white vinegar?
I heard about that too!
uhmm it seems like it could work, i use white wine vinegar for new jeans to keep the color from fading...
you probably should just rinse the color out with it like you would do with water
and then rinse again using COLD water.

Equation help! vinegar + washing soda (Na2CO3)?
Does any one know the correct equation for:
vinegar + washing soda (Na2Cl3) --%26gt; ??
thank you!Equation help! vinegar + washing soda (Na2CO3)?
vinegar is ~4% acetic acid soln.
2 CH3COOH + Na2CO3 = 2 CH3COO-Na + CO2 + H2O

Take 1 cup of vinegar and warm water into a
large glass and use to rinse your hair after
you shampoo. Vinegar adds highlights to brunette
hair, restores the acid mantel, and removes
soap film and sebum oil.

I don't use a rinse after I rinse.
Vinegar is supposed to make it shiny (or shinier), but I have shiny hair anyway.Most shampoos are basic, why do women rinse their hair with vinegar after washing it?
Is that what she told you?
Never heard anyone do that.
