Can anyone help me with my confusion over using vinegar to wash my clothes. I need to get my towels back being absorbent and I want to get rid of any detergent residue in all my clothes.
Iāve searched around and the results Iāve found all have different methods.
1) Pour in rinse dispenser only, wash with detergent.
2) Use only vinegar as a replacement for the detergent.
And then thereās the multitude of different amounts of vinegar to use.
UGH! HELP!
@see_the_sus if you want to get the detergent build up out, don't add more detergent. you can put vinegar in both the detergent AND rinse cups. that should work, but if it's really built up you may need to do it twice. if there's any suds in the rinse, it's not all out
also, never use fabric softeners or fabric softener sheets with towels. the sheets are also bad for your dryer.
@redenigma @see_the_sus I agree. I quit the dryer sheet more than a year ago. Itās better for your machine and your health. After a few washes , your clothes donāt act up with static anymore. Use white vinegar and wool balls.

Thanks. š I got info from @Jess @arthurpendragon and @ExecutiveFunction404
Unfortunately, I have no way of checking if thereās soap in the rinse. I have an HE washer that locks & doesnāt buzz when it gets to the rinse cycle. Plus, it locks and the only option, that Iāve been able to figure out, is to press ācancelā and restart the entire load.
Iāve been using wool balls for almost 10 years but I hang dry a lot of my nice clothes, bras, sweaters, etc.
