Laundry Cleaning & Washing With Baking Soda

• Use bi-carbonate soda as a pre-soaker for soiled nappies, as well as removing mould or stubborn stains such as oil and grease stains from clothes. Simply dissolve 45 grams of baking soda in a bucket of warm water, let it soak for half an hour, then wash in hot soapy water and let them dry in the sun.
• To whiten clothes add 2 teaspoons of bicarbonate soda to half a bucket of cold water, soak the clothes for 30 minutes and then wash them as normal.
• You can freshen up your laundry by adding half a cup bi-carb soda to the rinse cycle of your laundry. This will give your sheets and towels an odour free and fresh feeling.
• A good laundry cleaning tip is to sprinkle some bicarbonate of soda into your dirty laundry basket or hamper. This will help to remove the bad smell from your clothes, as well as ensuring that the clothes clean better when you finally get around to washing them.
• To remove that stale, musty odour from your laundry or linen cupboard put an open box of bi-carb soda on one of the shelves.
• To remove the smell of baby spit or stale milk from your shirt or jacket wipe it with a damp cloth dipped in baking soda.
• A little bit of baking soda in your washing machine is known to boost the strength of liquid laundry detergents, making your clothes come out cleaning, brighter and fresher.
