How do I get rid of germs on colored clothing like bleach does for whites?

Bleach kills germs that live in our laundry, unfortunately colored clothing doesn't have this same option...what kills germs as well as bleach, but is still safe to use on colored clothing?


A cup of white vinegar in your rinse water. White vinegar acts as both a disinfectant and fabric softener.

As a rule washing in warm water and drying will kill most if not all germs.However there are some that can take a licken and keep on ticken.If your really worried about germs you can purchase lysol concentrated liquid.It has instructions on how to use it in the laundry.I have used it a few times.Cant really tell you if it works as i have no way of telling if there are germs or not lol.There have been many myths about vinager working.Well here is the skinny vinger is acetic acid now as with any acid its based on ph on how strong it is.Vinegar has a pH value of about 2.4 now that will put the slow down on germs but not all.And further more it would have to lay wet on a dry surface for about 10 min to be affective.Now add say 2 cups of vinger to your 15 gallons of water that has a value of about 7 and you have achived about 6.7ph value.Sorry to say its not enough.A gallon might help some.But its not practical to do.Heat will do most of the job with a good soap like tide.In fact tide claimed for a while it killed germs in the laundry.Hot water and A good hot dryer will kill most anything.But its tought to sterilize everything 100%

The dryer will take care of it. Don't worry about germs. Besides, they are not all bad.

All you need to do is wash them. Don't obsess about germs!
