OK Way OT
fallout
Now, i promise you this works. A girl i know owns a small farm and is
always looking for both ways that are more natural and saves money.
She told me that instead of using fabric softener in the laundry (like Downy
or Snuggles in the US) to use the same amount of white vinegar.
i put it off as long as i could because i didn't want my clothes to smell
like vinegar but she promised that there would be no smell and kept nagging
me to try it.
Today i tried it. i works great. my clothes were as soft as if i had used
a name brand softener with no static electricity and no smell of vinegar at
all.
Just add the vinegar at the same time you would normally add the softener
(during the rinse cycle or if such a thing exists where you live in a Downy
ball).
i thought it so good that i would share this with you fine folks.

Thanks for this: will try out. More Uses of Vinegar, anyone? I recollect
being told once that cleaning the inside of the fridge with vinegar helps
get rid of fridgey smells, also that if you have cats that eat plants,
sometimes you can repel the cats by anointing the borders of your parterres
with the same Eminently Useful Substance.
Has anyone here ever tried using it as contraceptive, e.g.?

Vinegar is wonderful stuff for cutting through grease and limescale - cleans
up your chrome a treat (bath tiles, glass, mirrors and taps etc).
I don't use fabric softener because it leaves a waxy deposit on the fibres
which encourages them, through time, to clump and flatten. I'm going to try
that vinegar thing (spirit vinegar I take it and not the malt variety) I
wonder if lemon juice would do the same thing - knockout the limescale and
soften the water in the final rinse.
Thanks tom.

I use white vinegar to de-limescale my kettle. The other use I have for
it is, if I make blackberry leaves tea, the water round here (very
hard) has a strange reaction with it, and makes it horribly bitter and
cloudy. I find a bit of white vinegar in the brew clears the cloudiness
and bitterness - too much though and the brew is vinegary and equally yuk!
I've heard of adding it to a nappy bucket too, when they are soaking. Now
I wonder, is it to soften the water, or the nappies? Hmmm, maybe both, eh!
As to fabric softener, I use Ecover - but will try the vinegar when I run
out.

What you wear when you're too big for nappies.... Unless you're
incontinent, in which case they're what you wear /over/ your extra
big nappies :-)

Nah. I always say I won't tell him and then I go right ahead
and tell him anyway.
I just told him what you said and asked if we could try it
(Just so's you know I wasn't asking *permission* but
*opinion*. Note also how I have this need to defend myself.).
He said "No."
Then I said "Tom's a really nice guy."
So he said "Ok. Try."
So waar.
You are remarkably persuasive, Tom.

Course, I use vinegar on my fries. Makes it nice.
;-)
BUT I also use it to clean mirrors and windows, and it is the only thing I
use to wash my aquariums as any other thing will make fungus prolifer and
kill fishies.
Even if I only have the big turtle left, I still never use anything else
than vinegar to clean the "koyum".
I heard -and read- that vinegar in a laod of laundry will stop dyed
clothes from running and staining other clothes *AFTER they are so washed
a forst time sperately*. BUT I must say I tried it though and found it to be
rubbish -if my mother told me last weekend that the trick was to pour the
vinegar in cold water that you then very gradually make hot.
But I still can not say it works, given the poor results it gave in just
cold water, where I still donlt believe that one, no matter how many times
others told me it works. Din with the forst try, so rubbish I call it then.
BUT I can attest that milk removes marker ink (china ink). You have to let
the stained piece of clothing in it until the milk sours and makes lumps.
The enzymes will then somehow lift the ink completely out of the fibers,
where you remove it before rinsing then washing the treated piece of clothing.
Warning: Might attract flies.
I winder though of such a milk soaked blouse, if then washed in vinegar,
would not give way to a new washing-machine-made cheese recipe...?;-)

Thanks Michaela, i hope you're happy with the results. i know that the
price difference between white vinegar and fabric softener alone makes it
worth a try. i was happy with the results.
Good luck
