can you use apple cider vinegar for cleaning microfiber?

Ok, I know that white vinegar is ok to use sometimes on MF in the washing machine...but we have a bottle of apple cider vinegar, a medium amber color, that I would love to use up...would this be OK (if my white monster fluffies become an off-white as a result that is not a problem if it is just the aesthetics) in the washingmachine to help restore MF's?

thanks

hmmmmm....don't think it would do that...although if it did, it would be an expensive set of tack towels

actually, I just finished washing them....I ran them through a regular wash with liquid All then the wash with just the apple cider vinegar, then an extra rinse, and now they are drying on a rack...they seem fine, the monster fluffies are still white, not tacky feeling but now I have a strong desire to make myself a salad for lunch...

I think they came out as fine as if I had used the regular white vinegar

As you're finding, it shouldn't make any difference except for possibly some discoloration and a desire for vinaigrette salad dressing.

wow.....all the info on vinegar a man could ever want......actually, for a while, to be healthy I would have balsamic vinegar as the only dressing on my spinach salad figuring that cutting down on oils would be good, but I recently found out that you need to have oil to be able to absorb and utilize the lutein in spinach, plus olive oil is good for you anyway......

So true umberto, a MINI does not run on vinegar alone.
