Use the machine\u2019s fabric-softener dispenser only if its manual allows vinegar there.

For badly stained white towels, an approved oxygen-based whitener or chlorine bleach\u2014when permitted by the care label\u2014is usually more effective. Regular fabric softener should be used sparingly because its coating can reduce a towel\u2019s absorbency.<\/p>\n<p>Do not add vinegar routinely without checking the washing-machine instructions. Appliance guidance varies, and repeated acid exposure may affect certain rubber components or finishes.<\/p>\n<p>For better results, avoid excessive detergent, wash towels separately from heavily soiled clothing, and dry them without overloading the machine. Vinegar can be a useful occasional laundry helper, but it is not necessary in every load.                                                             <\/div><div class='rmwp-toggle-end'><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>White vinegar is often recommended as a simple way to revive towels that have become stiff, rough, or less absorbent.
