🧼 Method 1: In the Washing Machine
Add your regular detergent as usual.
Sprinkle ½ cup baking soda directly into the drum (with the clothes).
Run your normal wash cycle (warm water works best for whites).
👉 This helps:
Brighten whites
Remove odors
Boost detergent power
🛁 Method 2: Pre-Soak for Extra Whitening
Fill a basin or bucket with warm water.
Add ½ cup baking soda and mix well.
Soak clothes for 2–4 hours (or overnight for heavily stained items).
Wash normally afterward.
💡 Extra Tip (Stronger Whitening)
For even better results, you can combine:
½ cup baking soda + 1 cup white vinegar (add vinegar during rinse cycle, not with detergent)
⚠️ Notes
Works best on cotton and durable fabrics
Avoid overuse on delicate materials like silk or wool
Don’t mix vinegar directly with detergent (they cancel each other out)
