What to put in your washing machine to keep your laundry smelling nice for a week: just one spoon is enough

If you want your washed laundry to retain its inherent fresh scent for a whole week, it's time to give up store-bought fabric softeners.

Instead of household chemicals from the store, experienced housewives use an affordable product - you probably have it in your home.

It may seem incredible to you, but the fact remains: ordinary baking soda can cope with this task.

Here are detailed instructions on how to use this life hack.

Place your laundry in the washing machine just as you normally would.

Add baking soda along with washing powder to the compartment intended for detergent – one tablespoon is enough.

This product, firstly, will enhance the cleaning effect of the powder, and secondly, will give the laundry additional freshness.

Let the machine do its job, and then hang the laundry out to dry in the fresh air – it will enhance the effect of using soda, and as a result, the clothes will acquire a pleasant, subtle aroma.

This method has many advantages.

So, soda, as you know, is an environmentally friendly product. This means that it does not harm your health or the environment.

In addition to the fact that soda, as already mentioned, is able to eliminate unpleasant odors, it also makes the laundry clean and pleasant to the touch.

Finally, baking soda does not leave a sticky layer on the fabric, which is not the case with many fabric softeners. This means that your clothes will not attract dirt and dust.
