\"Vinegar<\/a>Have we discussed how much I love vinegar as a household staple?\u00a0 Oh I think we might have touched<\/a> on that<\/a> a bit.\u00a0 Another one of my favorite uses of vinegar is in the laundry.\u00a0 It helps keep clothes fresh smelling by killing odors.\u00a0 And since vinegar is a natural antibacterial and kills mold and germs, it’s perfect.\u00a0 Because let’s face it, dirty clothes are exactly that, dirty,\u00a0 We don’t wash clean clothes, right?\u00a0 Okay, if it’s something you just bought and brought home from the store. But even that<\/em> isn’t clean, because who knows how many people tried it on before you bought it.<\/p>\n

Vinegar works wonders on workout clothes as well.\u00a0 I don’t know about you, but I reuse my workout gear before it hits the dirty clothes pile.\u00a0 That means by the time I’m about to toss it in the dirty clothes pile, it is ripe for picking and about to walk there on its own.<\/p>\n

A few years ago I started eliminating unnecessary chemicals from our lives.\u00a0 Liquid fabric softener was one of the first things to go.\u00a0 It’s expensive and what is it really doing?\u00a0 Nothing.\u00a0 At least nothing fancy at my house.\u00a0 Plus I was paying for something that was water and perfume.\u00a0 That’s it!<\/p>\n

I will pass on that.\u00a0 Instead I put some vinegar in the liquid softener slot.\u00a0 It works at keeping our clothes soft and static free.\u00a0 And as I mentioned above, it totally gets rid of the stank.<\/p>\n

Even food smells that you can get from restaurants or markets.\u00a0 Smoke smell you can get from grilling outside.\u00a0 And workout odor you get from working your thing.\u00a0 It also helps clear up stains and loosen dirt from clothes. It’s basically amazing.<\/p>\n

It pretty much does a whole bunch of things for a lot cheaper than that silly water and perfume stuff.<\/p>\n

I purchase vinegar by the gallon jugs.\u00a0 Vinegar is super cheap and most warehouse (Costco, Sam’s for example) stores sell them in pairs.<\/p>\n

Grab yourself some vinegar and try using it the next time you’re washing clothes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
