Reply to comment by Just_anopossum in LPT: Use alcoholic vinegar instead of fabric softener when washing clothes by MotorDiscipline

I use approx 1 shot of it. It was recommended by the guy that services those machines. Doubt that this amount could do any harm since it gets diluted. Its main objective is to make the water softer.

You mean the guy that gets paid to fix broken seals?

He has zero incentive, retired a few months later. But do as you wish.
Do you really think a shot of vinegar diluted by the whole drum of water could harm the seals? IMO the machine would break down faster than the seal.

No, I don't think so because my family has been doing this forever. Bonus over liquid fabric softener is the paraffin wax from the softener doesn't build up and clog the washer. It's better for the clothes as well.
