Unlocking the third drawer: Boost your laundry's potential
A washing machine is an essential appliance in every home. Proper use of it, including utilising the third compartment of the drawer, can significantly improve the efficiency of the laundry.
The washing machine has a drawer divided into three parts, each with its own function. The third compartment is often overlooked, but it can greatly impact the quality of the wash. It is designed to add an extra portion of detergent, which is particularly useful for heavily soiled clothes.
Baking soda to the rescue for laundry
Baking soda is a cheap and readily available substance in every store that works excellently in this role. It has cleaning, whitening, and odour-neutralising properties, which are particularly useful after frying or a bonfire. Adding 85 grammes of baking soda to the third compartment ensures freshness of the laundry and removes stubborn stains.
Alternative rinsing methods
The third compartment can also apply alternative, eco-friendly rinsing methods. Preparing your own rinse liquid is simple—just mix a litre of water, about 60 millilitres of vinegar, and 30 drops of essential oil with disinfectant properties such as lavender or tea tree. This homemade liquid not only softens fabrics but is also safe for allergy sufferers and doesn't damage materials.
By fully utilising the capabilities of the washing machine, including the third drawer compartment, you can achieve much better laundry results while taking care of the household's health and the environment.
