So you have some soiled clothing that needs everyday cleaning.
Well you came to a great article. These are some of my tips I use to clean from light stains to stinky clothes.
Tip 1
Baking soda is your best friend for everyday smell. I have used a 1/2 cup of baking soda (large loads) in your washer machine, which works great for smells. As you use it more often, you will have a neutral smell. I have been using it for 5 years & and work great( I don’t use any scent booster at all).
Tip 2
More is not always better. When you use your detergent, use 2 tablespoons of regular load. Large to extra large, you can use 1 more tablespoon. This saves your washer for a long time.
Tip 3
Got some dryer sheet you use for your towels. Stop using them! This sheet use wax to coat throughout your dryer & clothes. It’s harder to even get rid of that thin wax off your clothes. Alternatively, use wool ball & add 1 drop essentials oil. (I have not added essential oil on my dryer ball)
Pro Tip: Recharge you wool balls with vinegar. Wash as usual in your washer machine with rinse cycle vinegar.
Tip 4
Got stains! Make your own stain removal with a bit of dishwashing liquid, water & baking soda. I have made this & works great on just stains less than 1 day. For tougher stains, add this mixture & let it sit for at least 24 hours. Longer the better.
- 1/4 part dishwasher liquid
- 1/4 part water
- 2/4 part baking soda
Mix both liquids first. Then add the baking soda till it becomes paste. That is it.
Use it like a stain removal
Tip 5
Vinegar is a great fabric softener. Add 2 tablespoon on fabric softer dispenser. If your washing machine does not have one, just added when rinse cycle stars. Softer clothing for your clothing.
