And stains that set into clothes (food, blood, etc.) need a formulated cleaning product to safely and thoroughly clean the item.<\/p>\n
There are times when vinegar can be helpful. For instance, it can help remove hard water residue on clothing, as noted in ACI\u2019s laundry problems and solutions page<\/a>. Some people swear by it to wash windows. But it won\u2019t always disinfect and might not leave them smelling as fresh as you\u2019d like.
