Use soda crystals for laundry

Submitted by Mrs Green on Friday, 26 June 2009No Comment

soda crystals for eco friendly laundrySoda crystals have long been used as a water softener, so use them in your washing cycle to soften your clothes.

Add 100 g (31/2 oz) to your wash load for soft, fluffy clothes.

If you are in a hard water area, adding washing soda to your laundry means you can then put in the recommended amount of laundry detergents for ‘soft water’ areas. It also means you can forgo using harsh fabric softeners.
