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

If you want to continue to use vinegar in your washing machine, you are welcome to do so. I’ll still warn other readers to avoid using vinegar regularly because of the problems with damaging the seals. I’ve had a washing machine leak and it is no fun.

You do realize the amounts in the article you've posted and the amount it should be used instead of fabric softener are vastly different?

OP must work for Big Vinegar the way they’re fighting so hard to use it all the time!

Hahahaha might be! Just trying to inform people about it so they can ditch toxic softeners. Using it for more than 5 years without problems.

There is a difference between routine (daily washing) use and occasional (cleaning) use.
