đĄ CEE JAYâS LOCAL APPLIANCE TIP
Anyone who has lived around Leighton Buzzard for a while will already know how hard our water is! If youâve recently moved into one of the areaâs many new homes, however, it may come as a surprise.
One old-fashioned laundry tip that still has some science behind it is adding a small amount of soda crystals to the wash.
Soda crystals soften the water, helping detergent work more effectivelyâparticularly on towels, cottons, workwear and dog bedding.
Try approximately one level tablespoon and use the âsoft waterâ amount of detergent shown on the packet. Donât simply add soda crystals on top of a full dose of detergentâmore product doesnât always mean cleaner washing!
â ď¸ Donât use soda crystals on wool, silk or delicate fabrics, and always check the garment and appliance instructions first.
Do you already use soda crystalsâor is this tip new to you?
