Doing laundry isn’t one of my favorite things to do, but I always feel good when my clothes are clean and I can sleep on fresh sheets again.
It sounds easy, but for me, doing laundry can be harder than math.
I wish there were books on this topic. They might not make for the most interesting reading, but they would definitely help a lot.
I had to learn the hard way myself – and I ruined a lot of clothes during my trip.
I usually follow the washing instructions found on clothing labels. But it seems like every item of clothing is delicate, as the instructions rarely recommend washing clothes above 30°C. I think that’s crazy because clothes can’t be cleaned at this temperature!
But after discovering a housemother trick that my friend’s grandmother has used for decades, my clothes come out sparkling clean every time.
Now I know that doing laundry doesn’t have to be such a stressful experience and that’s why I’m sharing this trick with you here.
The secret is white wine vinegar. It can do wonders for your clothing on multiple levels.

Soak clothes with heavy stains in water with 1/2 cup of white vinegar, soak for 30-60 minutes, then wash according to instructions. The stains are now a thing of the past.
