Using vinegar ...Thanks for the great ideas, Betty!<br /><br />Using vinegar to control odour works really well, I agree. It has even removed embedded odours in synthetic fibres -- rescuing garments I once thought spoiled. <br /><br />I'm going to mix up a batch of your all-purpose cleaner/disinfectant today!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04481104126830000011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831530726188902141.post-79266982890445969342010-12-06T15:29:26.079-08:002010-12-06T15:29:26.079-08:00Thanks for stopping by, Jill.

Plus, it doesn't leave any scent, which I like -- there's nothing to compete with personal fragrances, if and when I choose to wear them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04481104126830000011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831530726188902141.post-78551416446670092882010-12-03T11:45:27.760-08:002010-12-03T11:45:27.760-08:00Hi Gail,

Since moving from Terrace, I have had problems with this...if you leave your laundry overnight it smells! I always blamed the water! In Terrace, if you left your laundry too long it mildewed! (the moral of the story...dry your laundry right away! lol)<br />Anyway, I read that fabric softener contributes to this smell and that vinegar was one solution. I liked the idea because I am always on the lookout to use more basic cleaning ingredients. I too like the way it works. We don't suffer from exzema...not since there were babies but I like knowing what I put into my clothes. And the added bonus I found last year was the static cling had lessened...better than fabric softener, I thought.<br />JillGDeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07942697376879945030noreply@blogger.com
