Soda is an effective and natural product that housewives often use when washing clothes at home.

The ingredient removes dirt, eliminates excess odors and helps preserve the color and softness of the material.

But this product is not suitable for all fabrics.

If you forget about this, you can only ruin your favorite thing.

It should also be taken into account that the abrasive nature of such a product can damage or even ruin sequins and other decorative elements.

In addition, you should not wash dark-colored items with soda. The fact is that such a product can act as a natural bleach, which means that it can damage the color of dark T-shirts and shirts.

Baking soda does not always help to get rid of stains. For example, it is useless to use it if there are traces of wine or blood on things. It will also not be effective if you need to remove oil-based stains.
