You only need 1-2 tablespoons of detergent, and white vinegar makes a great fabric softener!

I’m not a professional, just a homeowner showing one way you can do it yourself.

agree. if you wonder why your towels don't absorb like they use to, it's probably because of the use of fabric softener. Use white vinegar in the rinse cycle instead.

Fabric softener also makes clothing flammable. It overrides the fire retardant in children’s clothing. Be safe.

I don't use fabric softener on my new washer.. I just don't need them. Never thought it was a good measure for maintenance

[johnjohng]

Perfect. No chemicals necessary. Yay! 😊

I also put a little vinager in the 'detergent' slot AFTER I put the detergent in .. I use a very tiny bit of gain like 2 table spoons ... my clothes feel cleaner feel softer and look better since it started using vinager

Vinegar smell only lingers if you have soap residue. Use less soap, like she said, and/or wash your machine really well to remove built up soap. Pretreat or spot clean tough stains and rinse before doing laundry like normal.

How do you keep your towels soft without fabric softener?

I only use detergent, but am here to find out why washed clothes always turn out stiff when dried.

That's great for a front loader but what about top loaders ? My machine does deep fills and I use a full scoop of powder with large loads. When the water has a slick feeling then I know the water is softened . The key is a good quality detergent and hot washes and an occasional bleach load if you're in North America. Never had a problem with mold or mildew in any washer I've owned.

I always use soap powder but today for the first time ever I used Almat Bio Laundry Liquid which I bought from Aldi but it is not creating any soapy suds / Foam in my washing machine, I put in the recommended dosage, what have I done wrong.

What about the laundry packets/pods/tabs? Are they concentrated too? Should we use 1 laundry packet/pods/tabs always or cut them in half?

[twittlypoo]

I use an Ecoegg for washing plus a scoop of washing soda (we have VERY hard water here!)
Ecover stain remover if necessary.
I soak some things with Oxybleach and may put a scoop in the washer but rarely.
Once forgot to put anything in the washer and clothes still came out clean.
Never use a dryer.

How many Cups of Stop do you Need When your Donig your Laundry because I'm Confused do I Need to Use 1 Cup or 2 ?

I swear by vinager. I have pet rats and cover their shelves with fleece, and it gets the urine smell right out. I don't even use anything besides vinager on the rat laundry. lol don't smell like nothing and took 100% of urine smell out. And rat urine is strong. Plus, rats are sensative to detergents and alot of things that's why I just use vinager, but it works great!

And dry your clothes with a dry towel. Supposedly they dry faster

My clothes washer is 20 years old. Doesn't it need the full amount of detergent?

[RichterBelmont]

*There is no such thing as HE washer in our country 🇵🇭 as a result, our laundry is super clean (thanks to the high-density foam from non-HE detergent).* 😁

[sparkyheberling]

What's the purpose of the vinegar?

[Jeannek]

I loved using white vinegar but then I found out that it is really bad for the internal parts of your washer, since it will wear them down over time. Someone compared it to how vinegar descales a coffee maker--it has that acidic power so it makes sense that it could cause an issue though it might take years
