11. Laundry
Adding baking soda to your laundry is an effective, cost-efficient and
chemical-free way to keep your clothes clean and soft. Simply add
half a cup of baking soda to each laundry load (if youre cleaning the
laundry manually in a tub with water) or to each rinse cycle (if
youre using a washing machine). Baking soda is a particularly good
choice for people who favor clothes made from natural fibers such
as organic cotton, linen, or hemp. After all, whats the point in
purchasing these natural clothes if theyre just going to be ruined
with chemical detergents?
