Vinegar for Fresh, Odor-Free Laundry

For particularly stubborn odors, such as those in towels, try soaking them in a mixture of vinegar, warm water, and a few drops of lavender essential oil. After about an hour, rub and rinse the towels thoroughly before washing. Alternatively, you can run the towels through a washing machine cycle with hot water and vinegar to refresh them.
