More than just counters and floors

Green cleaning applies to much more than kitchen cabinets, sinks, and floors. Most families adopt green cleaning because they are concerned about their family being exposed to harmful chemicals. What better place to start than with your laundry? What green cleaning article would be complete without mentioning the use of vinegar?

• Vinegar is an excellent product to keep your dark colored clothes from fading. Set your washer to the small load setting, add 2 cups of salt and 2 cups of white vinegar, agitate the water to diffuse the mixture, and then add the clothing. Run it through the wash cycle and then launder as usual. 
• Vinegar also makes a wonderful fabric softener. Pour one cup into the fabric softener section of your washer and wash as normal. This can alleviate a common problem with commercial fabric softeners because vinegar also makes your towels more absorbent.
• Vinegar is also great for deodorizing your laundry.
