    I add a drop of Zoflora to the vinegar. Yummy. :)

    I put fresh mint in with my white vinegar (aka fabric conditioner) and leave it to 'steep' for a few days. Smells lovely on clothes and bedding. Going to try it with lavender when the bush throws up a few more flowers too

    How much vinegar do you use instead of fabric conditioner?

  • I have just taken the plunge with this :o I am very nervous about how its going to come out!

    Iv even waited until oh is out cos he would FREAK if he saw me putting vinegar in the washing machine!:p
    (Have recently had a new one due to other making the clothes smell bad-and eventually dying!)
    Simplify and then Simplify some more!
