I tried white vinegar instead of softener...worked fine except it made our skin very dry and itchy. Might be ok once in awhile. Had to use my oatmeal solution for the itch.

I pour vinegar in the cup for fabric softener and when the machine goes into the spin cycle, the vinegar is distributed into the rinse cycle. I've also used vinegar to rinse out excess soapsuds after washing.

When my kids were babies, our family doctor told me to pour 'a good slug' of white vinegar in my diaper pail (yup, Iused cloth diapers, too). The diaper always came out of the wash nice and white, and the 'brown stains' had disappeared as well.

Vinegar is also a natural anti-fungal agent. I have used it for years as DH has allergies to a lot of soaps.

There is a commercial product called Retayne made by G&K craft industries. You use only 1 tsp per yd of fabric. This is made for todays commercially dyed fabrics & works very well
