Default Microfibre cloths and white vinegar

My MF cloths could do with being revived and heard that white vinegar does the trick. When they are washed they get put in the washing machine at 30 deg with liquid ariel detergent. So where does one put the vinegar when washing and how much?

Many thanks.

I use white vinegar for all my clothes now to be honest, fabric softnet just gunked the machine up and we started getting black mould growing around the dispenser drawer, clothes started going foisty if not instantly dried out, and generally everything was just coming out GASH.


Poured the remainder of the fabric conditioner out down the sink and made the move to white vinegar.

Our washing machine now looks like new
