How to Get Laundry Extra Clean and Fresh with Baking Soda
Topics:
Sweaty gym clothes. Muddy kids’ clothes. Stale work clothes. With so many different fabrics, messes, and odors to get clean, a hamper full of dirty laundry can give your detergent a good workout.
No matter which detergent you choose, you can boost its cleaning and deodorizing power by adding ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda. How? Chemistry! When paired with your laundry detergent, ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda uses the power of pure sodium bicarbonate — a natural occurring substance — to:
- Neutralize odors by balancing pH levels, and
- Soften wash water, so you can use less detergent or bleach — and make it more effective
Here are 5 easy steps to whiter whites, cleaner clothes and a new level of freshness:
- Place your clothes in the washer
- Add ½ cup of baking soda to your washer
- Add detergent, like ARM & HAMMER™ Plus OxiClean™ Odor Blasters.
- Run the wash cycle
- Add another ½ cup of baking soda in the rinse cycle
