🔬 How Vinegar Works in the Laundry (The Science)
White distilled vinegar (5% acetic acid) isn’t just sour—it’s a multi-tasking laundry ally:
Dissolves mineral buildup (from hard water) that dulls whites and stiffens fabrics
Neutralizes alkaline detergent residue—the #1 cause of scratchy towels
Breaks down soap scum and body oils embedded in fibers
Mildly disinfects and deodorizes without synthetic fragrances
💡 Key fact: Vinegar is acidic, while most detergents are alkaline. When mixed directly, they neutralize each other—canceling cleaning power.
