### 🧾 How to Use Vinegar in Your Laundry
Using vinegar is incredibly easy—no complicated steps, no weird smell lingering on your clothes (seriously, the scent disappears as it dries). Here’s how:
#### For Towels and Bed Sheets:
1. **Load your washer** as usual with towels, sheets, or other linens.
2. **Add 1/2 to 1 cup of white vinegar** to the **fabric softener compartment** or directly into the rinse cycle.
3. Wash on your regular cycle (preferably warm or hot water for towels).
4. **Skip the store-bought fabric softener**—vinegar does the job naturally.
5. Dry as usual, and enjoy noticeably softer, fresher-smelling fabrics!

### 🌿 Bonus Tips from Nana
– **Deep clean once a month:** For especially stiff towels, run a two-step deep clean—first with **hot water + 1 cup of vinegar**, then a second rinse with **hot water + 1/2 cup of baking soda** (no detergent).
– **Don’t mix vinegar and bleach!** This can create harmful fumes—stick to vinegar alone.
– **Use distilled white vinegar** (not apple cider or flavored kinds).
– **Avoid over-drying** towels and sheets in the dryer, as heat can also cause stiffness.
