cannot fail to take care of the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>laundry<\/strong>&nbsp;, whether to&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>be washed by hand<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;or&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>in the washing machine<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Natural remedies<\/strong>&nbsp;are&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a valid alternative&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>to washing clothes in the washing machine<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;Each one has peculiar characteristics, they are ecological and economical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we talk about the excellent properties of&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>sodium bicarbonate<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>how we can use it comfortably in the washing machine<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;Let&#8217;s begin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bicarbonato-per-eliminare-i-cattivi-odori\">Bicarbonate to eliminate bad odors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;Sodium Bicarbonate<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;could be the turning point if you have ever noticed&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>bad odors on your laundry<\/strong>&nbsp;, even freshly washed laundry.&nbsp;Let&#8217;s see how to use it&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>both by hand and in the washing machine<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-lavatrice\">In the washing machine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the problems that occur most&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>when washing clothes in the washing machine&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;is&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>bad smells.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are various causes, first of all the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>limescale<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;dirt<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;accumulated in the drain pipes.&nbsp;Furthermore, excessive use of detergents leaves a very unpleasant odor on clothes over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sodium bicarbonate&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;has&nbsp;&nbsp;powerful&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>absorbent abilities<\/strong>&nbsp;, it will be our best ally to effectively eliminate&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>that musty smell from the washing machine and clothes<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are wondering&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>how much bicarbonate<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;should be used&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;in the washing machine<\/strong>&nbsp;, know that a small amount is really enough to&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>add to each wash&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;to notice the difference.&nbsp;The most suitable dose is approximately&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>25 grams<\/strong>&nbsp;, which corresponds&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;to a spoonful<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many wonder&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>where&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;it is best&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>to put bicarbonate of soda in the washing machine<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;Pour it into the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>drawer<\/strong>&nbsp;, combined with your usual detergent.&nbsp;Obviously we recommend using ecological and environmentally friendly detergents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>bicarbonate&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;promotes the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>natural whiteness of clothes<\/strong>&nbsp;, so use it safely even if you intend to whiten your laundry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ammollo\">Soaking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your clothes have a very strong, unpleasant odor (such as&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;the smell of sweat<\/strong>&nbsp;), you may need to soak the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>clothes<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;before your regular machine wash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Oh I forgot!&nbsp;If you like these Natural Tips I can send them to you every day directly on WHATSAPP!&nbsp;Subscribe to my channel!&nbsp;I am waiting for you!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, also based on the quantity of items to be treated, place&nbsp;&nbsp;approximately&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>200 grams of bicarbonate&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>in a basin of 4 liters of water&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;If possible, leave it on overnight.&nbsp;Then proceed with the usual washing.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-secco\">Dry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Based on the labels&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;we find inside the garments, we know that some cannot be hand washed, but&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;dry cleaned<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even in case of bad odors, you can&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>dry clean your clothes<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;using our dear&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Natural Remedy<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, we can&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>sprinkle the garment with bicarbonate of soda&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;and place it in a bag, shaking it gently.&nbsp;Let it rest for a few hours.&nbsp;The&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>absorbent properties&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;of baking soda will eliminate any unpleasant odors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bicarbonato-per-sbiancare-il-bucato\">Baking soda for whitening laundry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the countless virtues of&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>bicarbonate in the washing machine<\/strong>&nbsp;, we must pay attention to a particular action that it carries out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;whitening and cleaning properties<\/strong>&nbsp;, excellent both&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>for eliminating stains<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;but also for restoring&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;white garments<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;to their original whiteness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As?&nbsp;Very simple: pour&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;a cup of bicarbonate of soda<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;together with the ecological detergent you usually use.&nbsp;The remedy is&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;more effective&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;if inserted when the washing machine has loaded all the water.&nbsp;This way it melts better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we have more clothes to wash, we can also double the dose.&nbsp;Or, to facilitate dissolution, it can be&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>poured directly into the washing machine drum<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bicarbonato-per-pretrattare-le-macchie\">Baking soda to pre-treat stains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s now talk about an&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>alternative use of bicarbonate<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;before the usual washing in the washing machine.&nbsp;Bicarbonate&nbsp;has stain&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;removing and absorbent properties<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;Precisely for this reason we can use it to&nbsp; pre-treat the&nbsp;most difficult to remove&nbsp;<strong>stains&nbsp; .<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Excellent&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;for oil stains&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;and sweat stains, we can create a very simple&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>paste with enough water and baking soda<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;We apply it&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>with a spoon&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;and massage the area, leaving it to act for a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the garment is white, we can&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>combine it with a little hydrogen peroxide<\/strong>&nbsp;, excellent for whitening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This \u201c&nbsp;<strong>do-it-yourself cream<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201d made&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>of hydrogen peroxide and bicarbonate<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;is a remedy loved by many&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>for whitening grout too<\/strong>&nbsp;, as you will discover in this&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>video<\/strong>&nbsp;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bicarbonato-per-prevenire-il-calcare\">Bicarbonate to prevent limescale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to its companion,&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>white vinegar<\/strong>&nbsp;, bicarbonate of soda is a basic solution, so&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong><em>it does not remove<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;limescale&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;from the washing machine<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, on the other hand, it can help us&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>prevent their appearance<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and safeguard the life of the appliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A teaspoon with each wash<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;is excellent both for bad odors and for making the washing machine last longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bicarbonato-per-prevenire-la-muffa\">Baking soda to prevent mold<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is another small clarification to be made.&nbsp;Bicarbonate&nbsp;<em>does not sanitize&nbsp; and is not&nbsp;<\/em><strong>&nbsp;a&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;real antibacterial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is one of the best natural remedies&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>to limit the proliferation of fungi and bacteria<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A very useful home method&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vivodibenessere.it\/come-eliminare-la-muffa-con-rimedi-naturali\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to prevent mold&nbsp;<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;is to carry out&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>an empty wash at high temperatures<\/strong>&nbsp;, inserting a large cup of&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>bicarbonate into the washing machine drawer&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;or directly into the drum:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=AMCSwTOeUAo%3Ffeature%3Doembed\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What happens if I put baking soda in the washing machine?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baking soda in the washing machine has several functions.&nbsp;A spoonful with each wash prevents bad odors and the appearance of mould.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How much baking soda should you put in the washing machine?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how much baking soda to put in the washing machine, it depends on what you need.&nbsp;Generally, even a spoonful is enough for each wash.&nbsp;For empty washes it is more appropriate to insert a whole cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you use bicarbonate of soda to replace fabric softener?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bicarbonate, compared to what is thought, does not have notable softening abilities.&nbsp;A natural remedy for softening laundry is citric acid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to whiten clothes in the washing machine?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can whiten clothes in the washing machine by adding 1 tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda with each wash.&nbsp;Being clear and resistant cloths, consider higher temperatures, for a sanitizing function.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the day, among all the household
