Stinky Laundry

Whether it's gym clothes, damp towels or that bag of wet kids swimsuits you found in the back of your car from 4 days ago, clothes get stinky. This tip came from my mother-in-law and it has worked wonders on our especially smelly laundry!

Add about a cup of white distilled vinegar to your load of laundry.
Yep. That's it.

I do not measure it, I just estimate and pour a little into the washing machine in addition to my regular detergent. In my experience, the clothes do not smell like vinegar at all. In fact, they always smell more fresh than I expect! I have also never had any trouble with it affecting the colors of the clothes at all. {I just googled affect vs. effect to make sure I got it right.}

I keep a gallon of white vinegar in my laundry room by my cleaning products because I use it a lot in cleaning. It can usually be found in the grocery store near the baking supplies; at least that's where they keep it at my Kroger!

I hope this helps keep your clothes smelling so fresh and so clean, clean.
