    How much are you supposed to put in?

    And do you get much static?

    I put in about a tablespoon sometimes two just depends.

    I use the distilled stuff. Not sure why but I always have done.

    I use brown vinegar (I buy it in a large container from costco and decant into smaller botters for the laundery room). I fill it to the same point as the fabric conditioner level in the dispenser. I don't add any oils etc. my wash just comes out smelling of ... well nothing ;) Just clean and fresh. Having used this method for some time now ... we can instantly smell the chemicals of fabric conditioner on other people's clothes. I just prefer smell of the nice lovely expensive perfume my OH buys me :D

  • I use brown I must admit as it was all I could find at the time and I've not noticed any problems, even on my lovely white sheets. My WM only allows 'concentrated amounts' in the dispenser, ie I can't fit a whole cap of normal unconcetrated fabric conditioner in there. So I just fill up to the max mark, it can't be more than a couple of tablespoons at most.

    Just got a whole load of malt vinegar from Netto @ 17p each. Would this be OK for cleaning shower head? Or should I use white vinegar?

    Thread below about my shower cleaning.
