🧺 Baking soda is a versatile and affordable tool for laundry care. It helps to remove odors, boost the cleaning power of detergents and soften fabrics.
Here are some common ways people use it:

* Odor removal: Add about ½ cup to a wash cycle to help neutralize smells in gym clothes, towels, and bedding.
* Detergent booster: It can improve detergent performance, especially in hard water, by helping maintain a better pH balance during washing.
* Towel softening: Using baking soda occasionally can reduce detergent buildup that makes towels feel stiff.
* Brightening whites: It may help keep white fabrics looking fresher when combined with regular detergent.
* Pre-soak option: Dissolving baking soda in warm water can help loosen sweat and mild stains before washing.
