Many people face the problem of poor quality washing, when even after using expensive powders and conditioners, clothes remain dirty or smell bad.
What additives can improve washing efficiency, improve the smell of laundry and extend the life of clothes?
Using Baking Soda
Baking soda is a great solution that helps combat unpleasant odors, removes tough stains, and softens water to improve the effectiveness of detergents.
Adding one tablespoon of baking soda during the washing process makes the laundry softer and looks fresher. In addition, baking soda prevents scale build-up in the washing machine.
The effectiveness of vinegar
Vinegar is an affordable product that improves the quality of washing. Half a cup of white vinegar in the conditioner compartment makes the laundry soft and removes powder residue.
Vinegar also removes odors and disinfects fabrics, which is important for children's clothing and items for people with allergies. Regular use of vinegar cleans the drum from plaque.
The Power of Citric Acid
Citric acid removes stains and unpleasant odors, fights rust and plaque on fabrics, and preserves the brightness of clothing colors.
One tablespoon is enough for one wash. Citric acid also cleans the washing machine from scale.
Uses of essential oils
Essential oils give your laundry a pleasant scent. Lavender, tea tree or eucalyptus oils kill bacteria.
A few drops of oil in the fabric softener compartment or drum will provide protection against bacteria and improve the smell of your laundry.
The Importance of Using Salt
Table salt combats fading of fabrics and removes difficult stains.
Half a cup of salt in the drum helps keep colours vibrant and fabrics soft while preventing limescale build-up in the machine.
Secrets of Using Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide bleaches and disinfects linen, removes blood, grass and grease stains, and neutralizes odors.
Half a cup of hydrogen peroxide improves the washing of white linen and towels and prevents yellowing of fabrics.
Applications of borax
Borax softens water, improving the action of detergents, and combats unpleasant odors.
A quarter cup of borax per wash cycle removes tough stains and disinfects laundry to prevent scale buildup in the machine.
The Effect of Aspirin on Laundry
Aspirin is useful for washing, removes difficult stains and keeps fabrics white.
Five aspirin tablets dissolved in warm water effectively deal with sweat and blood stains, restoring the whiteness of old linen.
Using fabric softener
Fabric softener softens fabrics and gives clothes a pleasant smell.
It is best used for washing bed linen and casual clothing, as it can reduce the absorbency of towels and sportswear and reduce static electricity, which is especially useful for synthetic materials.
