i have been using vinegar for fabric softening (not as a soap) for a decade and i love it. you very occasionally get a tiny whiff of vinegar when unfolding stuff but it’s immediately gone.
There’s a noticeable difference in softness without any greasiness or lingering odor.
i use a plain white jug of cheap white food vinegar.
i use vinegar, but it’s not the same. softener contains some oily component that stays in the fabric after washing and makes it more fluffy. vinegar doesn’t do that.
usually they advise vinegar.

how much vinegar do you use for a normal load?
Just finely crush about a half a bag of salt and vinegar chips and then toss 'em in
feels like around a quarter cup? there’s a little tray to pour fabric softener and i just glop a bunch in there from the jug.
