i started using vinagar when i realized i break out with most fabric
softeners, i make my soap for the laundry from time to time hoping to find
something that won't break me ojut, the only commercial one i can use is
fresh start, and i just recently found a source for it at a reasonable price
on the net so will save this incase the source dries up.

thanks, Lee
