Introduction:
Washing clothes is an everyday chore, but what if there’s a secret to making your garments look even fresher and more vibrant? Many of us throw in detergent and go on our way, but there’s a little trick that can make all the difference in the world. This simple addition to your laundry routine will not only help keep clothes clean, but it will also restore that just-bought freshness. So, before you hit that start button, read on to learn this surprisingly effective laundry hack!
Ingredients:
Baking Soda (1/2 cup)
White Vinegar (1/2 cup)
Optional: Essential oils (a few drops for fragrance)
Preparation:
Start Your Wash: Begin by filling your washing machine with the clothes as usual.
Add Detergent: As normal, add your regular detergent to the machine’s detergent compartment.
Add Baking Soda: Add 1/2 cup of baking soda directly into the drum along with your clothes. Baking soda helps neutralize odors and enhances the cleaning power of your detergent.
Add White Vinegar: Pour 1/2 cup of white vinegar into the fabric softener compartment (or directly into the drum if needed). White vinegar helps to break down detergent residues and soften fabrics, leaving them feeling fresh.
Optional – Add Essential Oils: If you love a fragrant touch to your laundry, you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the vinegar before adding it to the machine. It gives a refreshing, natural scent to your clothes.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Air Dry for Extra Freshness: For an extra layer of freshness and longevity, consider air-drying your clothes. This avoids the need for dryer sheets and retains the natural softness of fabrics.
Storage: Store laundry products like baking soda and vinegar in a cool, dry place. Keep them in sealed containers to ensure freshness and effectiveness.
