Green thumb- Green Laundry


Living a green lifestyle is far more rewarding than ever. Toni Maree the first lady of laundry is a huge go green supporter, now living the country life at Sarabah Estate Vineyard, the simple green life appeals to her immensely and with this I will share some green information with you, also a money saver! BONUS!

Odors in our laundry are caused by bacteria. They can usually be removed as the detergent molecules break up the bacteria cells. In certain types of water and with some bacteria, the detergent needs a boost to work more effectively.

However, to save on money and time baking soda helps to regulate the pH level in the washer water by keeping it from being too acidic or alkaline. By adding 1/2 cup of baking soda to each laundry load, detergents can work more effectively and reduce bacteria.

As a natural mineral, baking soda is less harsh on the environment than synthetic perfumes that mask odors. This also makes it a good choice for those with sensitive skin and allergies.
