7 Benefits Of Adding Vinegar To Your Laundry Routine

Distilled vinegar is by far one of the best gifts from nature. This natural disinfectant will carefully clean many household surfaces, but also it can be used in the laundry!
Here are seven benefits you can expect from using vinegar with your laundry:
1. Fabrics Softener
Add half a cup to a cup of vinegar to your washing machine’s rinse cycle to soften your new pair of jeans or shirt.
2. Removes Lint
Your clothing and linens won’t attract that pesky lint if you add around a cup of vinegar to your washing machine’s rinse cycle
3. Preserves Delicates
When washing delicate clothing pieces, like lingerie or wool, add a splash of vinegar to the rinse cycle. It will remove soap deposits and make your delicates last longer.
4. Stain Remover
Make a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar. Apply the solution directly onto the stain and let it sit for 60 minutes before washing as you normally would.
5. Wash Baby Clothes
Many traditional detergents be harmful to soft baby skin. However, distilled vinegar is natural and hypoallergenic, and it does a fantastic job of laundering clothing. Just add about a cup of vinegar to your machine’s wash cycle.
6. Bath Towels Freshener
To refresh your towels add a cup of vinegar to your washing machine on the wash cycle. It will remove that damp, mildew smell.
7. Washing Machines Cleaner
When you want to clean your washing machine and remove the bad smell, detergent buildup and get rid of mold and other bacteria, just add a few cups of vinegar into your machine and run it on an empty, hot water cycle.

How to keep cockroaches away ?

• Fabric softener + water mix: Instead of covering sheets in fabric softener, you can try filling up a spray bottle with the softener, and then mixing it with water. Use the mixture as an insecticide by spraying it over the roaches. This will stop the roach and keel it over. It works great, however it might be a pain to clean up after using it. 
• Coffee powder: With its strong smell, coffee can be a useful repellent, both in your home and outdoors. It is assumed that coffee contains a certain acid that acts as a kind of poison to roaches, the smell of which scares them off. Spread some ground coffee around your home, or outside it, to avoid having them around. Your home might smell like a cafeteria, but it's better than having unwanted, creepy visitors!

Borax + Sugar: For a really effective method, try using borax mixed with sugar. Combine a mix of these (3 parts borax to 1 part sugar) and sprinkle it in vulnerable areas (as a precaution, you might want to use this only in high up places). The sugar acts as a bait while the borax can dehydrate a roach's body. Your roaches will be attracted to the mix, which will in turn kill them. It is a brilliant solution to rid yourself of these pests effectively!
