How to Use Soda Crystals in the Laundry
- 1). Soak soiled items in a basin filled with warm water and soda crystals. Fill the basin with 1 cup of soda crystals per 1 gallon of water, and agitate slightly to dissolve the crystals. Place items in the basin, and let soak for one hour.
- 2). Turn on the washing machine, using a warm water cycle and the amount of laundry detergent you usually use.
- 3). Pour the entire contents of the basin into the washing machine, pouring in both the liquid as well as the garments.
- 4). Pour another cup of soda crystals into the washing machine, and let the machine run its wash cycle.
- 5). Dry the garments in the dryer, or hang dry as you normally would.
