I’m pleased to have Danielle from Laundry Care guest post at Mama’s today.  She’s an experienced laundress and I couldn’t agree more with her assessment of white vinegar.

I’m often asked by friends and family what my favorite laundry product is. With the endless choices available I can see why people want guidance on the best products to use.

Take a stroll down the cleaning aisle of your local general store and you’ll encounter everything from detergent to stain treatment, from softeners to brighteners. To make things even more complicated, the expanding varieties of different fabrics, both natural and synthetic, used in clothing has made the quest for the one perfect product combination seem futile.

Before you throw your hands in the air and grab whatever’s on sale, there is one product I stand by that isn’t even in the laundry aisle. It’s commonly found with the salad dressings and it’s a very reasonable $3 to $6 per gallon.

The product I’m referring to is white vinegar.

The list of benefits that white vinegar provides to your clothing exceeds that of any commercial cleaner out there. Combine this with the fact that it’s nontoxic and green and you’ve got the perfect laundry product.

Convincing Reasons to use White Vinegar in the Wash

1.) It brightens. If you’re looking for a gentler alternative to color-safe bleach, white vinegar is your answer. It helps keep your colors bright without the risk of lifting dye.

2.) It whitens. The acidic properties of white vinegar help restore dingy whites to their original bright state. All you need to do is fill a bucket with hot water, add 2 cups of white vinegar and let dingy clothes soak overnight. By morning, your old clothes will be noticeably whiter. As an added bonus, this same property also kills bacteria that can sometimes be found on clothes.

3.) It deodorizes. Clothes can be a magnet for smells in the environment. Smoke, pet odor and overall funkiness can be easily removed by adding a ½ cup in the rinse cycle.

4.) It softens. The advantage white vinegar has over commercial softeners is that it softens and fluffs without leaving a residue build-up on your clothes. Commercial softeners used repeatedly in the wash can form a waxy build-up that breaks down the fabric’s integrity over time.

5.) It removes stains. Mix a solution of equal parts white vinegar and warm water to remove moderately saturated stains or apply a paste of baking soda and white vinegar to muscle out stubborn stains. The mildness of the vinegar means there’s no risk of destroying the fabric or dye unlike other stain treatment products.

In addition to the reasons listed above it cleans your washer, helps remove pet hair from clothes, reduces static, and removes that mildew smell you get when clothes have been mistakenly left in a washer. What other product can do all this at such a low cost?

There are a lot of great options when it comes to laundry but if you want something that is both versatile and is multi-purpose, my recommendation is to add ½ cup of white vinegar to each load.

I’m so excited that Carrie is running such a huge sale on Grocery University again this Cyber Monday!  The price will be as low as $5 – that’s 80% off!

If you aren’t familiar, Grocery University is the couponing course.  I’ve used coupons to save money on our grocery budget for over 6 years now.  I would definitely consider myself to be coupon savvy.

But Grocery University teaches even people like me how to save even more money on their groceries and household items.  I loved learning how to stretch my dollars even further by implementing new-to-me ideas. It’s perfect for all couponers – from the young beginners to those who think they have learned all of the couponing strategies out there.

If you’ve considered buying Grocery University but thought the price was prohibitive, now is your chance!  Carrie is offering an enormous discount over the course of Cyber Monday. 

Details of the Deal

The price starts at $5 at midnight MST on Sunday night and will stay at $5 until 6am MST.  The price will then increase by $1 every hour after that until it reaches $9.  It will stay at $9 for the rest of Cyber Monday.

Here is a breakdown of the price schedule based on your time zone:

Eastern Time:
Midnight to 8 AM: $5.00
8:01 AM to 9:00 AM: $6.00
9:01 AM to 10:00 AM: $7.00

Even if you can’t squeeze out the $5 deal, $9 is an excellent price.  I promise you that you’ll earn your money back in your first shopping trip.

This is a great gift for that hard-to-buy-for person.  And you don’t even have to gift wrap it.  I whole-heartedly endorse it!

Have you noticed how there are fewer and fewer laundry deals each week?  It’s not just laundry – it’s groceries in general.  It seems that the deals become more sparse each time I type the laundry deals. I expect this to last at least through the summer, so stockpile detergent and other laundry products while you can get them at fairly reasonable prices with a coupon and sale.

It’s never un-wise to stockpile laundry detergent.  It never gets old or goes rancid.  If you must get rid of your stockpile for some reason (ie: cross country move or similar), people will gladly take it off of your hands.  Laundry detergent will never go to waste, so that always makes it a smart buy.

Mrs. Meyer’s is having a 20% off sale on their laundry detergents. 

The sales prices are good through next Sunday, June 12th!

Disclosure:  I have no affiliation with Mrs. Meyer’s at the present time.

If you’ve been keeping a price book for any length of time, you can see that laundry coupon amounts are getting smaller and the price of detergent is rising.  The rising cost of detergent makes it all the more important to shop strategically using coupons and deals. 

If you need help with how to do that or if you want to take your couponing to the next level, check out Grocery University.  I whole-heartedly endorse the e-course and learn something new every time I listen to it.  You’ll easily earn back the money you pay for the course in your first shopping trip.
