You may think to yourself, "Chemicals help get the dirtier stains out!" But that's not actually true, and then you have to wear those chemicals in your clothes. Gross! There is an easier way for people to clean their clothes as well as not have to worry about the intense chemicals they use to get stains and dirt out.

A lot of the detergents that you find in stores are brimming with risky ingredients that could pose a threat against you and your family as you clean your close with it. One of the best alternative solutions to combating grime is using inexpensive white distilled vinegar. This alone can soften, reduce odor, brighten, and whiten your clothes as well as get rid of those unwanted chemicals that you used before.

It is important that you buy the white distilled vinegar simply because it does not contain tannin's, which are natural plant dyes that can stain your clothes. On top of that, this version of vinegar is much cheaper as well.

Some of the other added benefits that come with using this kind of vinegar includes removing cigarette smoke from clothes, eliminate hem lines, protects dark colored fabric, brightens and whitens white fabric clothes, softens fabric naturally, reduces lint production, removes mildew odors as well as arm pit odors.

Using about 1/2 a cup of the vinegar can have your laundry protected from colors fading away, removes stiffness and manufacturing chemicals that are used in the clothes, and if you add a 1/2 cup to the last rinse cycle of a load, it can act as a natural fabric softener.

All of these reasons are why you should switch to this alternative way of cleaning laundry instead of dumping more chemicals in.
