Baking Soda and Washing Powder: Enhance your laundry detergent’s effectiveness by adding 3 tablespoons of baking soda to your wash alongside your usual detergent. This method is particularly effective for general brightening and stain removal.
Chemical Yeast (Baking Powder): Similar to baking soda, baking powder can also serve as a natural bleach alternative. Simply add a sachet to your detergent drawer to boost your laundry’s brightness.
Hydrogen Peroxide: Known for its bleaching properties, hydrogen peroxide is a gentler alternative to commercial bleach. Mix it with hot water and a bit of liquid detergent, then soak your clothes for 20 minutes before washing as normal.
Lemon Juice: Lemon’s natural acidity makes it an effective whitening agent. Add the juice of one lemon to your machine’s detergent drawer for a natural brightness boost and a fresh, subtle scent.
