Lemon Juice: If you don’t have white vinegar, lemon juice is a great substitute. It’s a natural brightener and also has a lovely fresh scent.
Borax: For an extra boost, add 1/2 cup of borax to the load. It works similarly to baking soda, brightening whites and removing stubborn odors.
Essential Oils Blends: Create your own laundry scent blend by combining essential oils like lemon, tea tree, or peppermint. This adds an aromatic layer to your laundry routine.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Will this trick work for colored clothes as well? Yes, this method is great for white clothes and light-colored fabrics. However, be cautious when using it with darker clothes, as vinegar and baking soda may cause fading over time.
Can I use fabric softener with this method? You can use fabric softener, but it may compete with the fresh smell from the vinegar and baking soda. It’s best to go without it for a purer, fresher scent.
Do I need to use both vinegar and baking soda? While both work effectively on their own, using them together provides a more powerful cleaning and deodorizing effect. If you only have one on hand, you can still see good results by using either vinegar or baking soda.
How can I keep my clothes smelling fresh after drying? Store your clean clothes in a well-ventilated area, and consider adding a sachet of dried lavender or cedarwood to your closet to keep your clothes smelling fresh for longer.
With this simple laundry trick, you can now enjoy clothes that are not only pure white but also smell fresh after every wash. Give it a try and enjoy the results!
