If you’re like most people, your laundry detergent is a staple in your cleaning arsenal. But like any other product, it can start to smell bad and look dirty over time. Here are four ways to clean up your laundry detergent:
- Add 1 cup of white vinegar to a large bucket or sink. Fill the bucket with water and stir in the vinegar until it’s fully mixed in. Soak clothes in the solution for 30 minutes, then rinse them off with cold water.
- Make a homemade laundry detergent solution using 1 cup of Borax and 3 cups of hot water. Pour the mixture into a large container and add your favorite laundry detergent. Stir until everything is fully dissolved, then pour it into containers for use.
- Use baking soda to clean up dirty laundry detergent residue on surfaces such as countertops or floors. Sprinkle some baking soda on the surface, then scrub with a brush or sponge until the suds are gone. Be sure to rinse off the baking soda before it starts to form dirt stains!
- Add 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide to 2 cups of warm water and stir well to combine before using on dirty clothes or surfaces. H2O2 will break down grease and oil residues so they can be removed more easily with soap and water ..
