Ordinary white vinegar is good for a lot of things, but it's too dilute to use as a fabric softener or limescale prevention.
I've used acetic acid (32%) for decades, 30ml or so per wash. It's even listed right on the bottle that it works as a fabric softener, keeps colors from fading and prevents limescale buildup.
And it goes in the fabric softener compartment of course, if you mix it with the detergent the acidity will reduce its washing power(detergent is alkaline).
Isn't that way too much in terms of %? I feel like that would erode any rubber on my machine.
It will probably break down the fibers in the clothes as well. I could see occasional use but not regular.
