Vinegar: The Secret to Whiter Whites and Softer Towels (And How to Use It Correctly)

Introduction

White linens that stay bright and towels that stay soft can feel impossible to achieve—but vinegar is the game-changer. Many people use it incorrectly, missing out on its full laundry potential. Here’s how to get it right and make your laundry truly shine.

Why Vinegar Works

Vinegar is naturally acidic, which makes it excellent for:

Removing detergent residue that makes towels stiff

Neutralizing odors in fabrics

Breaking down minerals that dull whites

Unlike chemical softeners, vinegar softens fibers without leaving a coating, keeping towels absorbent and fabrics fresh.
