Why Baking Soda Works
Baking soda is alkaline, which helps balance the pH level in water and boosts your detergent’s effectiveness. It loosens dirt, breaks down stains, and removes the dulling residues that make white clothes look gray. It also naturally deodorizes fabrics without covering odors with artificial fragrances.
Bonus Tip: Combine with Other Natural Boosters
For even more power:
- Mix baking soda with white vinegar in the rinse cycle to brighten whites and soften fabrics.
- Add a bit of lemon juice to the soak for extra whitening and a fresh scent.
- Dry your whites in the sun — natural sunlight acts as a bleaching agent and enhances the effect.
Say Goodbye to Chemical Bleach
Using baking soda to whiten your laundry is an easy switch that offers multiple benefits: it’s safe, gentle, budget-friendly, and effective. No more chlorine fumes, stiff fabrics, or fading clothes — just fresh, bright, naturally white laundry.
So next time your whites start to look tired, skip the bleach and give baking soda a try. Your clothes, your skin, and the environment will thank you!
