Cross my heart and hope to be cast out of OS for ever - it doesnt smell of vinegar at all on the washed clothes. Obviously you can smell it as you put it in the drawer, but that's all. I use white, but have a bottle of brown ready for when this lot runs out, having read the others' comments I thought I'd give it a try.
I use an old 2 litre water bottle, put about 1/2 a small tub of bicarb in, add a full bottle of vinegar (slowly cos it'll fizz!!), and then fill the vinegar bottle with water and add that, and then do the water bit again (so you end up with one bottle vinegar and 2 water). Put the lid on, give it a shake, and add about as much of that as you would FC to the drawer. I also add a few drops of Essential oil from time to time, but have never really noticed the difference with and without.
Hope that helps.I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are – Milton Berle0
