Hack 1: What to do with detergent cups
After adding laundry detergent to the washer, toss the detergent cups right into the washing machine to let it clean the residue before putting it back on your bottle.
Hack 2: Uses for a dryer sheet
Use a dryer sheet to easily remove hair from your lint vent, preventing any leftover debris or fuzz.
Hack 3: Vinegar fabric softener
Swap out fabric softener for vinegar for softer clothes without the buildup that fabric softener causes.
Hack 4: Ridding wrinkles
If you don't have an iron, heat a pot over the stove for a minute and use it to quickly iron out wrinkles in clothes.
Hack 5: Keeping shoes in dryer quiet
To prevent shoes from creating noise in the dryer, loosen the dryer, close the laces in the door, and run the dryer to avoid tangling and bumping around.

I've been using vinegar in my laundry routine for a while now, and I've never experienced any issues with it. It's always worked well for me!

My husband retired from being an appliance repairman after 42 years. He warned me to never use the vinegar method. Vinegar is an acid and will eat away at the inside workings of the machine (where you can't see it, causing your washer to need repaired/replaced more often. He said, "It will always cost you more than you saved in the end."
