Just thought I'd let you know, from someone who didn't believe it!

Edward's Mommy replied: I have to wash my clothes in the bath-tub. How do I get clothes soft when I'm hand washing?

jacobsmama replied: I must have missed the post on vinegar! This is so intresting I will have to try this too! You just use it like fabric sofner? Does the kind matter?

Bee_Kay replied: I missed something....

Do you put vinegar in the fabric softener dispenser instead of liquid fabric softener??

luvmykids replied:
According to the ladies who brought this to my attention, yes. I have a front loader w/ a little place for softener but you can also put it in the downy ball. I didn't believe it, but the clothes smelled great, were soft, and no static.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Lol I tried that today but I don't know how it worked because I forgot to take the clothes out of the washer.

punkeemunkee'smom replied: That sounds neat! How much do you use? What kind? I wanna try it too!

luvmykids replied:
Just regular vinegar, I got two giant jugs at Sam's for 2.88 and used the same amount as I would with softener. I'm really, really impressed! And it's going to save soooo much money! We go through at least one bottle a week of softener, so at the very least it's gonna save about $240.00 a year!
