I have always washed clothes on cold, except when the whites are looking dingy or someone has been ill (vomiting). Then it's hot and lots of bleach!

I have found 2 wonderful products for stains that I couldn't live without! For poopy/baby stains - Totally Toddler. I spray and let it sit. If it's a big/bad stain, I rinse and repeat, then wash as usual. I've only had 1 stain I could not get out with TT, even old/set in stains I had before I discovered TT.

For everything else, I use greased lightning. Again, I can't think of a stain it hasn't gotten out. Even got crayon out, after my son left one in his pants pocket and it made it all the way to the dryer!

Those 2 products have saved me a lot of time and backache!

I am going to try the vinegar & baking soda though, and see if it makes a difference in my whites overall. I like to use borax now and then, but that is more expensive.
