S/O Sport detergent - using vinegar?

[Brit]

I think that I remember that some of you added white vinegar to you laundry to get out sweaty funk. How much? Any special instructions? Do you use it on your 'nice' workout clothes?

I use 1/2 c. in place of fabric softener for all my clothes.

I sploosh some into the washer while it's filling, in addition to our sport detergent. It's no more than a cup, probably muuuch less.

You even put it on your LLL stuff?

This is the million dollar question. (Some days I feel like I actually have spent a millon dollars on my LLL collection!)

Yup, I throw it in there with EVERYTHING.

I do too!

I use it too, it works fine on all clothing.

I use it in place of fabric softener for all of my clothes, and I've never had a problem (even with nice work clothes).

I put some in when the water is filling up with detergent. If the clothes are extra funky I'll let the wash percolate for awhile. if I had one of those fancy schmancy washing machines with a fabric softner dispenser I'd put it in there.

I used to use it on DH's work clothes, but it just laughed at the funk. It didn't help one bit. Maybe I wasn't putting enough in? I filled up the bleach spot in my washer - maybe I should pour it straight on the clothes?

Yep. Mine and DH's.

Indeed. It gets mixed in with the water/detergent, and it's all fine.

I put vinegar in all my laundry, it is supposed to help preserve the colors and keep them from fading, as well as get the smell out and make them softer. I put about a cup in with the detergent and then also fill up the softener dispenser.

The only time I have ever had a problem was when I soaked a stained jacket in half vinegar and water for over 24 hours - it got the red wine out of the white jacket, but it caused the zipper pulls to break - I think the vinegar weakened the metal.
