If you're a cheapskate like me, you might be tempted to use an old cleaning bottle. DO NOT use a bottle that has had bleach in it, as the result is toxic chlorine gas.

Keep a regular white vinegar bottle in your laundry room as well. Pour a half a cup into your wash to fight stains, smells and lint You can also add a quarter cup to the last rinse of your laundry.
It prevents yellowing, acts as a fabric softener and static cling reducer, rids clothes of mold and mildew, and removes soap.
