How to Wash with Ash and Beans: TOP Incredible Folk Remedies for Washing That Work Better Than Powder
Despite the fact that the washing machine has become an integral part of our lives, sometimes we still have to wash things by hand.
But our grandmothers didn’t have such a choice – everything had to be done by hand, often using folk remedies for washing.
For example, some cleaning product recipes suggest using… ash. The residue from burning wood can make white linen crystal clear.
To do this, the ashes should be poured into a canvas bag and immersed in water. You also need to put things here and send it to boil - our ancestors did this on the stove in a special tub.
All that's left to do is rinse and hang the laundry out in the cold or lay it out in the snow so that nature can make the clothes snow-white.
If you need to tidy up silk and wool items, mustard will come in handy.
Dissolve 20-25 g of mustard powder in a liter of warm (not higher than 40 degrees) water and leave for 3 hours. After the specified time, the settled liquid should be used for washing - it foams well and removes stains.
You can even wash with beans – add 200 g of beans per liter of water and put on the fire. After the beans are boiled, beat the broth until foamy and use it for soaking or washing.
