Imagine this situation: the housewife has already prepared the clothes for washing and put them in the drum of the machine.
And then it turns out that the washing powder has run out.
I don't want to waste time going to the store. I don't want to put off doing the laundry either.
In such a situation, you can resort to an interesting trick - replace the washing powder with another product.
Experienced housewives have discovered several components that cope with removing stains from fabric no worse than powdered detergent.
Laundry soap
Grated laundry soap is an excellent alternative to washing powder.
It is enough to grind the product using a grater.
Add a little clean liquid to the resulting mass, as well as baking soda (1 tbsp.).
The result is a mixture that can be safely added directly to the clothes loaded into the washing machine.
Dishwashing liquid
They can also replace washing powder.
In some cases, dishwashing gel is even better than washing powder. For example, in situations where you need to remove greasy stains.
However, there are two nuances. First, you need to make sure that the product you are using is safe for the material the items are made of.
Secondly, you cannot use more than 1 teaspoon of gel, otherwise too much foam will appear.
Dry mustard
Instead of washing powder, you can use mustard powder.
Usually 3 teaspoons of this bulk product is enough for a liter of liquid.
The water to which dry mustard is added must be of a fairly high temperature. Otherwise, the powder simply will not dissolve.
After a couple of hours, the prepared solution (without the sediment) should be diluted with a new portion of water. The prepared product is suitable for hand washing.
