Keep watching him. I can tell you vinegar in rinse water works. I didn't think it did...but it does....first you have to use less soap/detergent than most of us have been using.....this will help get laundry softer.
@@xanderpromeoNo, but an alternative to vinegar is Downy rinse & refresh. More potent than vinegar, it strips the residue from your clothes during the rinse cycle. It is a game-changer, with the added benefits of naturally softer laundry.
@@edalbedahs Then most likely you're using the wrong type of, or cheaply made (quality-wise), vinegar. I've used cleaning vinegar in EVERY type of cleaning application and it dries to no scent. Window cleaner. Over & microwave cleaner. In the washer. Pee stains from my dog that I just told him "don't pee on my bed!" and he literally pees on my bed 30 seconds later. I mop with water and vinegar. ... We literally have to buy gallons at Costco because we use it often. I don't know, maybe change to a different brand. I know you have to be using "white _cleaning_ vinegar", right? Maybe you're using it with something else? Maybe the thing you're using it on has a residue that interacts with the vinegar? Maybe you're not letting it dry to open air? Or.., It could just be your nose is extremely sensitive to certain scents. There are people who can smell cyanide while many cannot. That being said, while I've never looked into it it's possible people can smell vinegar residue after it's dried. However, I have to believe that it's a very, very, very small percentage as everything points to the odor of white _cleaning_ vinegar normally dissipating after about an hour or so.
I just ordered some dryer balls! Fabric softener also irritates my skin (along with a lot of detergents) so I don’t use it often. Now I have a very very good reason to not use the liquid softener! I’ve definitely felt that layer, yeesh
my Washers fabric softener dispenser broke and i could not be happier. I cut back on my laundry soap and use half as much ( soap clogs your washer). Told to me by a washer repair person. So I decided to give it a shot. It took a few weeks and my towels are so soft. My clothes feel nice. No more static cling. I do use Ecos laundry soap from Costco very light scent. I don't think the kind soap matters. But using too much does. Now my laundry soap goes farther and everything is so soft. I also use only cold water unless I am washing my cleaning rags or dish towels.
How did the static cling stop? I don't see how that can be avoided if you are in a dry environment and clothes get rubbed on something. How cold is cold for you in degrees? it can vary during the day as the season
If you ask washer repair people they'll tell you how BAD fabric softener is. It's bad for your clothes, for the washer (even though it comes with a fabric softener slot), and it's incredibly bad for the environment.
I hate not using them but they do leave a residue on your clothes. I mean, you can literally see and feel a tacky dryer sheet go in and when it comes out it's thin with no more residue. That stuff just doesn't evaporate. It's like wax that transfers to your clothes.
A better alternative to fabric softener if you like the scent. Scent gets boosted 50% more if you use a dryer so you can cut down on beads if you dry that way compared to line drying.
Okay, I get that and I've tried. Problem is that we're on a well and have very hard water. The best solution I've found is using epsom salt in the wash, but we still get static in the dryer. Any suggestions? Wool dryer balls? Plastic ones? I've seen both.
Try using less soap and maybe and extra rince. I use half the recommended amount recommended by the laundry soap makers. I found once the excess soap was removed from our clothes the static was gone. I also have hard well water. ( Too much Iron) Your washer will love it too, soap gunks up the parts of your washer.
Notice how not one single fabric softer product EVER list their ingredients...I stopped using fabric softer years ago when a very well known Laundromat/dry cleaners in The city (sydney) told me what that crap can do to your whiltes. It basically catches the dirt your trying to rinse out of your clothes and binds them back to the fibres.. . time and time and time again. To me it made sense as fabric softner will leave a layer on your clothes and after a while, whites come out grey. Not to mention the nasty carcinogens in there...

Hello, my friend. To reduce pH I use 50ml of 20% citric acid as fabric softener. This idea comes from sara mamchimica YT channel title is Ammorbidire i panni - consigli pratici ed ecologici durante passeggiate nella natura
@Cal Sa - I have watched several videos and heard this man speak on NPR. One of his big things is that we use way too much detergent in too-cold water. He recommends ignoring manufacturers instructions on the containers as they want to sell you more product than you need - use about half of what they say. Also, use warm water as cold does not activate the detergents. Industry standard for cold water washing is 58-63 degrees, whereas cold tap water is actually about 50-53 degrees.

I thought he was going to explain how to do it naturally? All he says is how NOT to do it...
That is how simple it is.

Absolutely 100% AMEN!! Haven’t used that garbage for years!! 🤩
What's the best way to wash stiff new rustler work jeans??? I also need to crease them.
Use baking soda in the wash and white vinegar in the rinse. Use dryer balls in the dryer. : )
So what can we use to keep the static away
Foil ball, it works!

@Kristin Wright - Did you watch his video on the aluminum foil ball trick?
why when after washing my clothes the back of my clothes feel tight
i do not use fabric softener but i do use dryer sheets.

Is there any way I can get red color runs off of a NASCAR Jacket?
Soak it in deluted white vinigar.
What do you do to get static electricity out of clothes, that’s one reason why use the dryer sheets
@Zeppo - Watch the video about the aluminum foil ball trick.
How about fragrance boosting pellets?
A better alternative to fabric softener if you like the scent. Scent gets boosted 50% more if you use a dryer so you can cut down on beads if you dry that way compared to line drying.
@Rychei - I never used that stuff, but for a bit of fragrance in the clothing, I use a little bit of essential oil on a cloth in the dryer.
There was no information on how to naturally soften. What about static?
If you can't use a clothesline, then use dryer wool balls in the dryer. That fixes the static cling.
I’m waiting
I love you , you taught me so much and well not use fabric sheets or softener . Thanks Laundry guy

Try using some STPP with your detergent in a minimum warm or hot wash. STPP won't dissolve in colder water.
Try wool dryer balls.

Omg I never knew
@bubbylovesbubby - Ditto!
Where can I buy your products?
On his website. It’s the same name of the RUclips channel
He provided the link above. Right below "Hi, I'm Patric, Welcome to my Laundry room!"
@C J - Did you read the information in the description?
breaking bad habit
so you focused on what not to do SO you should change the Title! you didn’t answer the question Mr. Laundry evangelist
You told me what NOT to do, not what TO DO to get my clothes soft naturally. Disappointing.
