I just put a load in my new washing machine. But, this one locks and you have to add all detergents, etc in the "drawer." So...I have a choice of compartments: detergent NO, bleach NO, fabric softener ???. I know the first 2 are added during washing. When does fabric softener get added; ie. during the rinse?

Yeah yeah, I'll find out but it's bedtime now and dh is super allergic to dustmites, etc so I want to make sure this bedding load is clean & soft.

Thanks

The fabric softener gets added to the rince cycle. I would put the vinegar in there.

ditto. That's what I did when I used my parents machine - sounds same as yours with that little drawer.

I always put vinegar in at the beginning of the wash cycle with the laundry soap...

So, when we got the front-loading HE machine, the one time I've used vinegar I've put it in the bleach compartment so that it will be added to the wash at the same time the soap is.

I guess it's just preference for when you want the vinegar added to your wash.

you could also use a downy ball.

one more vote for the downy ball. my downy ball is SUPER clean after using vinegar.

I also use a Downy Ball with vinegar.

I use the vinegar as a fabric softener, so I vote for "fabric softener" compartment--although I also use a Downy ball.

I use vineagar in place of fabric softener too, so I add it to the little drawer for fabric softener.
