White Vinegar:
Eliminate soap residue by adding 1 cup of white vinegar to the washer's
final rinse. Vinegar is too mild to harm fabrics but strong enough to
dissolve alkalies in soaps
and
detergents. Vinegar also breaks down uric acid; so adding 1-cup vinegar to
the rinse water is especially good for babies' clothes. To get wool and
cotton blankets soft and fluffy as new, add 2 cups white vinegar to a full
tub of rinse water.
DO NOT USE VINEGAR IF YOU ADD CHLORINE BLEACH TO YOUR RINSEWATER. IT WILL
PRODUCE HARMFUL VAPORS.
Baking Soda:
1/4 to 1/2 cup baking soda per wash load makes clothes feel soft and smell
fresh.
Dry Bleach:
Dry bleaches containing sodium perborate are of low toxicity (unless in
strong solution, then they can be irritating to the skin). Use according to
package directions.
Baking Soda:
You can cut the amount of chlorine bleach used in your wash by half when you
add 1/2-cup baking soda to top loading machines or 1/4 cup to front loaders.
Vinegar:
To remove smoky odor from clothes, fill your bathtub with hot water. Add 1
cup white vinegar. Hang garments above the steaming bath water.
Cornstarch:
For homemade laundry starch, dissolve 1-tablespoon cornstarch in 1-pint cold
water. Place in a spray bottle. Shake before using. Clearly label the
contents of the spray bottle.
