Baking soda and laundry go hand in hand. It’s a stain remover, deodorizer, and boosts color. Plus, it’s natural. This post is sponsored by ARM & HAMMER, which is the brand of baking soda we’ve always used.

How To Use Baking Soda In The Laundry

Baking Soda Is A Laundry Booster

Add 1/2 cup of ARM & HAMMER baking soda to the laundry to make liquid detergent work harder. The baking soda balances the pH in the wash which allows for cleaner and brighter clothes. ARM & HAMMER has a big resealable pouch size to makes this an easy routine.

It Freshens Linens

Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to the rinse cycle to get musty towels and sheets smelling fresh.

Leave Baking Soda In The Closet

Be rid of stale smells by leaving a baking soda box in the closet or pantry.

Use It To Remove Stains

For tough-to-clean stains use an ARM & HAMMER detergent like the Ultra Power 4x Liquid Laundry Detergent. HAMMER™ Ultra Power 4X Liquid Laundry Detergent. It’s ultra-concentrated and packed with two scoops of baking soda. This little bottle offers loads of power, getting your clothes 50% whiter and 50% fresher compared to the leading value detergent per load. It’s the little bottle with the big value. It’s also available in Perfume & Dye Free.
