If you want laundry as white and pure as milk, you don’t need harsh chemicals—just baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) can do the trick.
Why Baking Soda Works
- Whitens Fabric Naturally – Helps remove yellowing and dullness from whites.
- Neutralizes Odors – Absorbs sweat and other unpleasant smells.
- Boosts Detergent Power – Softens water and helps your regular detergent clean more effectively.
- Gentle on Fabrics – Safe for most materials without bleaching or harsh chemicals.
