MacGyver Tip: Fluff your blankets with vinegar

The Vinegar Institute (no, really) offers an extensive list of things you can do with the sour liquid, including fluffing your blankets.

Cotton and wool blankets become soft, fluffy and free of soap odor if 2 cups of white distilled vinegar are added to the rinse cycle of the wash.

There's tons of other vinegar-related cleaning and food preparation tips and activities for the kids (build a volcano!) listed on the VI site as well. I'm convinced: vinegar's the duct tape of food stuff.
