Two Quick Green Laundry Tips – Eco-laundry

Two icky chemical laundry issues are bleach and fabric softener. You don’t truly need either.

To soften clothing, add 1/4 cup baking soda to the final rinse cycle. If you can stand the scent, some people swear by adding a cup or so of basic vinegar to the final rinse. Being that I hate the smell of vinegar, I stick to baking soda. If you really like fabric softener, try a natural fabric softener.
