[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 235743, member: 1991"] Check to see which works best - try the vinegar as a 1st rinse, and wash all your stuff entirely separately. We found the girls demanded to not have difficult child 1's things washed with any of theirs. husband also got on that bandwagon. My problem was, I had a lot of difficulty making up a full load of difficult child 1's stuff, because he would never change his clothes and I could never find his dirty underwear (probably because he never changed it, he just wore it until it fell apart). Another tip - buy bottles of various essential oils (the cheap ones) and use a few drops in the final rinse. The best for this particular job (and often cheapest) include eucalyptus, rosemary, ti-tree (aka melaleuca), pine and lemon. Most of these are also somewhat antiseptic and anti-fungal as well, especially ti-tree. If you're using pure essential oil, you should only need to add a few drops - I have a front loader so I add these by putting a few drops onto a cloth and throwing it into the wash. But without the vinegar stage, all you're doing is trying to mask a smell. The initial vinegar splash would remove all or most of the smell first. And whether this is an Aspie thing - I agree, it's not a 100% correlation. In other words, you can have Asperger's without this, and you can have this without Asperger's. But I do think there could be a significant overlap. But whether it's a specifically Asppie thing or not, it still smells just as bad and is just as big a nuisance. In other words I don't ask why my son stinks, I just buy the viinegar. Marg [/QUOTE]
