Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

You can just use white vinegar instead of fabric softener. It's significantly cheaper, can be used for other non-laundry things, eliminates odors, and doesn't gum up your washing machine with residue.
Further advice, don't use a lot of it. You'll see videos on youtube of people pouring like three cups of vinegar in their washing machine, don't do that. You only need a splash of it. If you use too much, the acid will eat away at the rubber gaskets and shit
O.O
That's a terrifying amount. I use around 1/4 cup for most mid to large loads. 1/2 maaaybe if it's a large towel load. Does the job well enough.
