Question from Kerri
Since I have been reading so much on how great vinegar is for laundry for a variety of different reasons, I have been using vinegar in my rinse dispenser and in my bleach dispenser. I use no more then a cup. Sometimes I just use half a cup in the rinse dispenser. Do you think this can be causing pilling on my clothes? The longest I have my clothes in the dryer,on delicate, is 3 minutes to get the dog hair off my clothes and then I air dry, so I do not think it is from the dryer? I wash my clothes in cold water only and on a delicate cycle. I also use seventh generation soap and use very little, like maybe only 1/8 of a cup. I’m ready to go crazy because my clothes are getting ruined and I am having to get rid of them. If you have any ideas regarding this I would greatly appreciate your advice.
Also I have read some of what others are saying about laundry soaps etc. but I get overwhelmed because there are so many different opinions and advice. Do you recommend a book or something that pretty much just states the facts on non-toxic cleaning products or ones that you can make on your own?
Thanks for your help!

Yes! See the Cleaning page of Debra’s Bookstore.
And I don’t think vinegar is causing pilling, but, readers, has anyone else had this experience?
