Using Baking Soda in the Laundry

Baking Soda 

 Maybe many would ask, "baking soda" in the laundry, Is it true? Yes! since "baking soda" acts as a natural deodorizer and cleanser. Adding it to laundry is a great way to gently clean your clothes to remove tough smells and stains. Using baking soda can also help soften clothes, boost your detergent's power, and keep whites white. As a bonus, it helps your washing machine stay clean, too.

To Remove Stains

For tough-to-clean stains use an ARM & HAMMER detergent like the Ultra Power 4x Liquid Laundry Detergent. HAMMER™ Ultra Power 4X Liquid Laundry Detergent. It’s ultra-concentrated and packed with two scoops of baking soda. This little bottle offers loads of power, getting your clothes 50% whiter and 50% fresher compared to the leading value detergent per load. It’s the little bottle with the big value. It’s also available in Perfume & Dye Free.

Reduce and Remove Laundry Odors 

Body odors on our clothes and linens are caused by bacteria. They are removed when detergent molecules break up the bacteria cells on the fabrics. However, less expensive detergents need a boost to work more effectively. Baking soda helps to regulate the pH level in the washer's water by keeping it from being too acidic or alkaline. By adding 1/2 cup of baking soda to each laundry load, detergents can work more effectively and reduce bacteria.

Boost Bleach and Detergent Performance

Chlorine bleach is often used to help remove odors and general grime in our laundry. In water that is too acidic or alkaline, bleach needs a boost to work more effectively. By boosting its cleaning properties, you may be able to use less bleach to achieve the same results, saving yourself money and reducing the bleach's impact on the environment.

Natural Fabric Softener 

Instead of using fabric softener, try adding a 1/2 cup of baking soda to the rinse cycle. It acts as a natural softener and is gentler for household members with sensitivities to chemicals in their laundry. As a natural mineral, baking soda is less harsh on the environment than synthetic fabric softeners with perfumes that mask odors. This also makes it a good choice for those with sensitive skin and allergies.Unlike synthetic fabric softeners that can interfere with fire-retardant finishes on children's pajamas, baking soda can be used safely.

By the way, baking soda is also an Iron Cleaner because of its natural gentle abrasive. To remove built-up starch and scorch deposits from the face plate of a cool iron, mix a paste of baking soda and water. Using a white cloth, rub the paste over the face of the iron. For tough build-up, use the cloth to scrub gently and repeat until the build-up is gone. Finish by wiping off the face plate with a cloth dampened with distilled white vinegar. Your iron will glide smoothly making ironing much easier and leave no tell-tale deposits.
