I use it on fabrics every day. Check for color fastness on reds and blacks...but you do that with water anyhows.
I agree with Ms Campbell. I have used this method for over ?? years. Since I was in Jr. High School! Our Home Ec teacher taught us this trick. It works great. Just be sure to use only WHITE vinegar. In my ignorance of being a teenager, I used full strength apple cider vinegar! Stains!! At least they washed out. Good luck.
