Today’s Tip – not so fresh laundry?
Add a half (1/2) cup baking soda to your laundry detergent when you wash your next clothing load. It should help neutralize any odors and just generally freshen up your laundry.

Can you use less detergent if you use baking soda? I’ve been having a hell of a time with too much soap. I use what the bottle says to use but there are always so many suds left I have to rinse three times. I’m using way too much water but I don’t want the clothes to stink either.
Do you have hard water there? That will make a difference. If your clothes are still sudsy after one cycle, I’d cut the amount of soap in half. You can use the soda in addition to or as part of your total.
We also use vinegar added in to help cut out stink.

Hi Alex! First time since I started my blog that I found someone using the same theme as me
Love hearing about new tips and stuff, so I’ll be checking back.
And about the amount of suds?? I use liquid and NEVER use what is recommended…it’s way too much. Just a bit goes much farther than they say and it keeps the suds bill way down too.
