  • Add a fresh, natural fragrance
  • Provide antimicrobial benefits (especially tea tree oil)

💧 4. Washing Soda or Borax – Heavy-Duty Boosters

For tough loads (gym clothes, workwear, kids’ clothes), these old-school laundry boosters are still powerful:

  • Washing soda helps soften hard water and break down grease
  • Borax boosts stain removal and deodorizes
  • Use about ¼ cup per load

🌀 5. Don’t Forget to Clean the Washer!

Even the cleanest detergent can leave behind gunk. Once a month:

  • Run an empty hot cycle with 1 cup of vinegar and ½ cup baking soda
  • Wipe down the seals and detergent drawer
  • This keeps your machine (and your clothes!) truly clean

Final Thoughts: Level Up Your Laundry Game

So next time you’re tossing a load in the washer, don’t stop at detergent. A few simple additions — like vinegar, baking soda, or essential oils — can make a huge difference in how your clothes look, feel, and smell.

Give it a try and experience fresher, softer, and longer-lasting laundry — with fewer chemicals and better results. Your clothes (and your nose) will thank you. 👕✨
