I love fresh laundry… especially whites. It just looks so clean and fluffy. A few years ago, I gave up bleach in my laundry. Not really because of the chemical concerns, but because we were constantly ruining our clothes! I tried a few things to keep my whites that really stark white. Borax, lemon, salt, baking soda, etc. nothing works as much as this…Here’s my recipe … For each load, I add:
Tide pod or whatever brand I am currently buying
1 to 1-1/2 cups of white vinegar (depends on how large of a load )
1/2 cup of dishwashing detergent
Wash in hot water. I’ve heard that leaving out the fabric softener is actually better for the wear and tear on your threads in your towels. But, I’m still using it, because I just love the smell. I also add essential oils to my linens- especially sheets (mostly lemon and lavender).
I’m not sure what this magic combo is, but it totally works for me. Leave a comment with any whiter than white ideas you have for your laundry!
