Doesn't vinegar destroy your washing machine?

  It will accelerate corrosion and rust. Modern, higher end machines are probably going to use stainless for all the affected parts but I wouldn't risk it on an expensive newer machine. Older machines are more likely to have non-stainless parts and if you've got an older machines you probably don't want to accelerate its demise.

  Maybe on some models - I've been doing it for years and I have no issue. I don't put a ton in, and I imagine most of it is neutralized by leftover soap residue and a relatively hard water supply.

  Wouldn't chlorine bleach also have the same effect on your washing machine since it is quite the oxidizing agent?
