White vinegar and baking soda mixture can make the best detergent.
Laundry detergent can be prepared at home using kitchen essentials.
Washing clothes regularly is one of the most essential activities that we need to do. Whether you wash clothes by hand or using a washing machine, soap or detergent is a must. There are times when you realise that both the essentials are not available at home. Many of you will run towards the nearest store. Well, fret not. There are many other tips and tricks that can be used, instead of using detergents and soaps to clean your clothes. Not only will you be able to remove the dirt using these tricks, but your clothes will also shine bright, as if they are new. Here are the best homemade laundry detergents that are easy to make.
White Vinegar and Baking Soda
Mix white vinegar and baking soda to make the best detergent for washing clothes. It completely cleanses your clothes, making them appear new and gives them a good fragrance. Vinegar and baking soda are also recommended for washing sportswear. To make this detergent, take half a cup of baking soda and add half a cup of vinegar to it. Pour the mixture into the
washing machine
or you can also take a bucket filled with water and add the detergent to the same.
Baking Soda and Lemon
Take some lemon juice and mix it with baking soda. Since lemon work wonders when it comes to removing dirt from clothes, use this mixture to clean both white and coloured clothes. First of all, take half a cup of baking soda and add about half a cup of lemon juice. Use it as a detergent to remove stubborn stains from your clothes.
Shampoo or Body wash
Clothes can also be washed using shampoo or body wash. When you run out of detergent, you can use shampoo or body wash. Shampoos and body washes produce a lot of foam, which can affect the functioning of a
washing machine
in a negative way. To prevent this, they should be used in less quantity.
