A truly magical and economical grandmother's trick.
Know that baking soda increases and intensifies the washing properties of liquid detergent, especially against grease stains.
You can therefore put half as much detergent in the tub of your washing machine by adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of baking soda instead.
Your laundry will come out perfect and you will have made great savings!
Grease, blood, grass, red wine or red fruit stains...

Its properties give it the power to break down fats and proteins.
Take a spray bottle, add 4 tablespoons of baking soda to the tank for 1 liter of water.
Stir and spray the solution on the stained laundry or on the collars and sleeves of shirts in prewash.
Whether it's because of the smelly socks of your budding footballer, the not very fresh little lingerie or even the baby clothes full of vomit...
..the clothes accumulated in the dirty laundry basket inevitably give off an unpleasant odor.
This is without counting on the bicarbonate which, thanks to its porous texture and its blotting effect on the pH, will stop the proliferation of bacteria and therefore odors!
Simply sprinkle baking soda as you put dirty laundry in the basket.
And do not remove the powder when you put the laundry in the machine, because it will continue its deodorizing and cleaning work even in the machine!
We will all agree that the smell of perspiration or tobacco is very unpleasant.
