Add baking soda to laundry
Want a little boost to your laundry? Simply add baking soda to laundry when you use your washing machine. What does baking soda do for your laundry? It gets whiter whites and brighter colors. It also softens the water, do you can use less laundry detergent too!
Simple add 1/2 cup of baking soda to laundry detergent. If you have a front loader, you only need 1/4 cup! Baking soda also increases the potency of bleach, so if you use bleach in your laundry, you can use less of that too.
I am a huge fan of oxi clean in my laundry, but it can get pricey Especially when you do as many loads as I do because of so many people in the house. You can pick up a 13 lb bag of baking soda at Sams Club for less than $7, and that will last through a lot of loads of laundry!
Who knew baking soda was so handy?
