Is It Hack or Whack? | November 28th
Featured: Foster and Jurrens
It's time for our daily "Is It Hack or Whack?" segment, and today, Foster is tackling a common household issue: towels that have lost their softness and, well, their fresh scent.
If you’ve ever grabbed a towel after a shower only to find it smells a little "funky" or feels stiff, Foster has a simple, low-cost solution that bypasses those expensive fresh beads and softeners—a trick she learned from her own mother.
The Solution: White Distilled VinegarThe simple household hero is white distilled vinegar. While it might sound unconventional, vinegar's natural acidity is highly effective at breaking down what really makes your towels feel stiff and smell sour:
Residue Buildup: It cuts through lingering residue from traditional fabric softeners, detergents, and hard water minerals.
Odor Causing Bacteria: It tackles mildew, mold, and other bacteria that cause those lingering, damp odors.
Foster confirmed the method with Jurrens, who advised on modern washer features, especially the high-efficiency (HE) models common today.
Load the Laundry: Place your towels into the washing machine.
Add the Vinegar: Pour $1/4$ to $1/2$ cup of white distilled vinegar into the fabric softener compartment of your washing machine.
Run the Cycle: Run the washer on warm or hot water. Since you use the fabric softener compartment, the vinegar will dispense automatically during the rinse cycle, ensuring the vinegar smell rinses out completely.
Dry: Dry your towels on low or medium heat.
The result? Softer towels with a clean, fresh scent—no funk required.
Listen to the full segment to hear Foster and Jurrens debate the Hack status of this laundry trick!
