If you have to deal with heavy dirt, you can’t always count on household chemicals to help.

But folk recipes, on the contrary, only confirm their effectiveness from year to year.

So, experienced housewives claim that you can deal with stains using soda.

It is enough to soak the stained dresses and shirts in a basin with a soda solution for an hour, then wash them in the usual way.

If you need to bleach your laundry, lemon will come to the rescue.

In this case, soaking should be done after washing. Add the juice of one lemon to the water and leave the items in the resulting solution overnight. In the morning, all that remains is to carefully wring out the clothes (no need to rinse) and dry.

In addition to the fact that lemon can restore whiteness to a greyed blouse, it will also give washed items a pleasant citrus aroma.

Perhaps this advice will be most relevant for washing furniture covers and bedspreads for pet owners.
