Whitening Laundry
Baking powder is a great and cost-effective way to brighten up your laundry cycle, whitening whites and intensifying colors. Its mild alkalinity helps to balance the pH of the water, which in turn makes the laundry detergent work better. Baking powder also acts as an odor neutralizer in clothes, leaving them smelling fresh and clean after every wash. This very simple addition to your laundry routine can make your clothes get much cleaner without the additional use of expensive laundry boosters.
Add half a cup of baking powder to your wash as well as your normal detergent for brighter laundry. Baking powder will improve your detergents’ performance, helping remove deep stubborn stains and brightening colors in fabrics. For the hard water families, where mineral deposits make the clothes lifeless and dull in some period, baking powder can effectively break down these mineral deposits so clothes are cleaner and fresher.
Apart from making your clothes look appealing, baking powder is one natural solution to the kinds of odors that eventually become strong. Clothes that people use immediately after activities such as physical exercises and even in hot, damp conditions tend to have undesirable odors. Baking powder counteracts these odors and keeps your laundry bright while promoting an environmentally friendly use as compared to chemical-based products for laundry.
