Put White Vinegar in Your Washing Machine and Watch What Happens (6 Uses Black Grandmothers Swear)

Pour a little white vinegar in your washing machine and watch what drains out. That dollar jug on the bottom shelf does the work of three bottles under your sink, and my grandmother knew it her whole life. In this one I walk you through six ways to use plain white vinegar in your laundry, the way Black grandmothers always have: softer towels without the fabric softener, killing that sour-towel smell for good, cleaning the machine itself, bringing dingy whites and yellowed collars back, protecting your dark colors, and the last one, cutting your detergent clean in half. Stay for number six. It's the one that put money back in my pocket.
