1185852 2011-03-21 17:57:00 Oh well, most of those links recommend cleaning the washing machine with vinegar by running it without clothes, something i cant do. Question (15792)

1185854 2011-03-21 20:44:00 I can just tell you what I do, Question.

1. If I am using soap powder I make sure it has dissolved before I add clothes, some powders, particularly when used in cold water washes, may leave little white flecks of soap powder on your clothing.

2. I prefer to use liquid laundry detergent when washing dark clothing, I just pour the recommended amount, usually a capful, onto the clothes and set the machine to start. If you have a grease mark or stain on your clothes, rub a little of the detergent onto that before you put it into the machine.

3. I have white vinegar that I have transferred into an old, well washed palmolive dish washing liquid bottle. When it gets to the final rinse cycle I just give it a couple of squirts straight into the machine, usually as it is still filling. You don't have to go to that extent, it's just more convenient for me. The amount of vinegar would probably only be around 15-20 mls.

A number of those same links recommend adding a cup of vinegar to the wash in order to soften clothing and help with lint.

I can say that I don't add vinegar to my wash and have no problems with lint.

How do you dissolve the powder? Do you simply pour in the powder, then pour in some water before putting in the clothes?
