When Not to Use Vinegar in Laundry
With Chlorine Bleach: First and most importantly, it is critical that you don't use vinegar in laundry in conjunction with chlorine bleach or with any products that contain chlorine bleach. When vinegar and chlorine bleach are mixed, they create a chemical reaction that results in dangerous fumes that are extremely harmful and can be fatal.
With Regular Use: Secondly, vinegar should not be used as a part of your regular laundry routine, as the acid in vinegar can damage seals and hoses in your washing machine, causing leaks. "White vinegar is an acid that can break down the rubber gaskets and hoses in your washing machine, leading to costly damage," says Jennifer Kaminski, a product and brand manager for Affresh appliance care. This is especially true of front-loading washers with thick rubber gaskets around the door. While vinegar is often touted as a natural alternative to fabric softeners, regular use isn't advised because of its ill effects on a washing machine.
With Elastic: Finally, it is best to avoid the overuse of vinegar when washing gym gear or other clothing with elastic in it. While vinegar is excellent at stripping odor-causing buildup from the over- and misuse of laundry products, over time, the acidity can break down elastic, shortening the lifespan of anything with stretch.
In view of the possible effects on machine rubber seals & clothes with elastic properties, I'll be a little more careful with amounts used.
But, it definitely works as a fabric conditioner, especially good with towels
Works out at £6.16 for 10L, without having to buy so much.
Great company (see their own website) and quality products.
- I put a good squirt in the washing cycle (same for the dishwasher) and in the final rinse instead of fabric conditioner.
And , advice some years ago was NOT to use fab. con. for towels as it hinders the moisture absorbing quality of towels.
When running the washing machine's own cleaning cycle, a cupful of vinegar also works

What to do with 30 litres of vinegar? Any good deals on onions?
Just think how many buckets of pickled eggs one can brew up with 30Ltr of vinegar!
I have used these before and pretty good price per litre. 5% acidity (edited)
260L right? (26 bottles x 10L)
You need to eat more chips
Most of the white supermarket stuff is distilled malt vinegar so not really for cleaning / laundry unless you want everything to smell like a chippy.
