It acts as a natural cleanser, deodoriser and is also a mild antiseptic.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Here are 5 Benefits of Adding Baking Soda To Your Laundry Routine:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Brightens Clothes<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Baking soda contains natural antiseptic properties which helps remove dinginess that remains on clothes overtime. By adding 1\/2\u00a0 a cup of Baking Soda to your regular wash (with laundry detergent) in the dispenser, your clothes will come out brighter!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Laundry Detergent Booster<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">When you add baking soda to your laundry, it helps boosts your laundry detergents performance as well as soften hard water that creates the dinginess. This will result in\u00a0 fresher, and softer clothes. You&#8217;ll also be able to use less laundry detergent too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Removes Odours<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Baking soda works well in neutralising odours, even in the air; so it will work wonders in your wash! If you have clothes that are really smelly, you can pre-soak your clothes in 1-2 cups of baking soda mixed with\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">warm water overnight before washing as normal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Natural Fabric Softener<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">If you want softer clothes without using fabric softener, baking soda is a great alternative! Since it helps to regulate the pH balance of water, it also suspends detergent and mineral residue that causes your clothes to feel rough. Baking soda is also great for people with sensitive skin as it is a natural mineral. Just add 1\/2 a cup in the drawer on the final rinse.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Removes Stains<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Baking soda is a\u00a0natural stain remover\u00a0and is great for removing tough stains like oil, grease and food. All you need to do is create a baking soda paste with water, apply to the stain lightly rubbing it in and let it sit. Depending on how tough the stain is, you can let the paste sit for up to 15 mins or leave it over night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">If you&#8217;d like a more professional approach for keeping your clothes fresh and bright, you can count on Laundryheap to the job, all year round!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just like distilled white vinegar, baking soda has a lot of cleaning benefits, especially for your clothes!
