Instead of fabric softner, crumble up a ball of alunimum foil and toss it in. Haven't tried it yet, but my friends over at Sonlight swear by it!Tara B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13584312084891112603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867661039737622377.post-33885303299665226042008-09-25T04:07:00.000-04:002008-09-25T04:07:00.000-04:00I've always been a clothesline girl myself.

So out 1/2-3/4 cup of vinegar is just there to equalize the smell of the clothes.<BR/><BR/>I use it 'all' the time. I do not miss commercial bought detergent or softener at all. Hope this helps!<BR/><BR/>It's me Red!The Cooking Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16899099551443426511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867661039737622377.post-13371129358701803012008-09-22T19:06:00.000-04:002008-09-22T19:06:00.000-04:00Wow, I did not know you could use vinegar as a clo...Wow, I did not know you could use vinegar as a clothes softener!

I used them and hung everything. Until the day that my DH asked me to please dry his jeans. It seems he would pull them off the line (was I lazy or what) and the were as stiff as a board and could stand on their own. lol<BR/><BR/>I miss hanging the clothes in the basement. Nice to know about the vinegar! I always refuesd to use liquid fabric softner.Frankiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02443594220588498332noreply@blogger.com
