Adding just two tablespoons of coarse salt into the drum before washing can:
-
Make clothes softer without chemical softeners.
-
Prevent towels from becoming stiff and scratchy.
-
Keep jeans more flexible and comfortable.
-
Preserve the brightness of colors and reduce yellowing.
For even better results, soak clothes for a few hours in water with coarse salt, then wash them in the machine without rinsing first.
Cleaning and maintenance of the washing machine
Coarse salt not only helps clothes but also benefits your washing machine. Its ability to reduce limescale makes it effective for cleaning the drum and pipes.
-
For a deep clean: pour a full 1kg package of coarse salt into the drum and run a hot wash cycle.
-
To prevent odors and mold: place a small cup of coarse salt in the empty drum when the machine is not in use.
This habit will keep your laundry fresh, your machine cleaner, and extend the life of both.
