While distilled vinegar can make your whites whiter, it can also make your darks darker. How? Well, laundry detergent and other residue sticks to dark clothing, making it appear lighter and worn out over time. Toss some vinegar in with your clothing and it will help to combat detergent and other chemicals from embedding themselves in your darks.

2. Removes Odors

Dealing with a tough stain? Just spray some vinegar directly onto the area in question, then let it sit for about 15 to 20 minutes. Afterwards, wash as you normally would and the stain should be gone.

5. Whiter Whites
