6 Essential tips to enhance your laundry
Laundering is something that one needs to do every other day and it can sometimes be really difficult and ruin your expensive set of clothes if done with proper knowledge. To enhance your laundry in this article I’m going to provide you with some basic tips that would make your laundry experience hassle-free and fun.
Tips to enhance your laundry :
1) Get rid of odor using baking soda and vinegar
Do you hate the smell of new clothes or have someone in the family who likes to hit the gym and pile up all the sweaty clothes in a bag? Or maybe worse, you’re having a bad day and fall into a gutter. Don’t worry, all you got to do is add ½ cup of baking soda to approximately 4 liters of water and soak any smelly clothes for around 2 hours. Then when you use the washing machine, just add ½ cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle.
2) Use Listerine as a substitute for disinfectant
Out of disinfectant? No need to panic and run to the store, I got you covered. Just take out Listerine from your bathroom and add around half a cup of the mouthwash to your washing machine and run it for several minutes. This would help you disinfect the washing machine without any hassles.
3) Wash dark clothes inside out
Ever paid attention to the little tag on your denim that reads “wash inside out”? Turns out it actually is good advice as washing your clothes inside out helps them keep their color and stops it from fading as it lessens the fabric to detergent contact to the minimum.
4) Keep your jeans in a freezer
If you are a busy person like me who doesn’t get time to wash their clothes every day and wears the same pair of jeans for weeks, then this trick is just for you. All you got to do is store your denim in a freezer before wearing it again. The cool frigid air of the freezer will kill all the bacteria and help eradicate the odor.
5) Avoid yellow stains
Have you ever noticed the yellow stains that develop on your white clothes after washing? It completely ruins the look of the shirt and makes it look dull. The best way to avoid this is by mixing ¼ cup of table salt with ¼ cup of baking soda with around 4 liters of water in a large bucket. Add the clothes with yellow stains to the bucket and boil for around 1 hour. This would make the yellow stains disappear.
6) Unshrink your clothes
Do you often find your favorite clothes shrinking? To fix this, just soak your shrunken piece of clothing in lukewarm water and mix any baby shampoo in it. This will help the fibers relax and allow them to gently stretch back to its original size.
