Did you know you can deep clean your laundry by stripping it? It’s quite satisfying to see all the grime, body oils and laundry detergent build up soak out. And you can brighten and whiten your white bedding and towels this way! Over time, I’ve noticed my nice fluffy towels become scruffy and dingy and my bedding and pillow cases have seen better days.
Stripping your laundry is easy! Fill your tub (or big bucket) with super hot water and add a cup of powdered laundry detergent, a quarter cup of borax and a quarter cup of washing soda. Mix well until dissolved.
Throw in your laundry and let it marinate for at least 4 hours. And watch all the oil, dirt, grime and detergent build up come out. Drain your tub and transport your wet laundry in a garbage bag lined basket.
Then throw your wet laundry into the washer with an additional cycle. I chose to add bleach to further brighten my whites. Skip this step if you’re stripping colourful clothing, towels or bedding.
Next, transfer to your laundry to the dryer with a few tennis balls or wool balls to fluff up your laundry.
And there you have! You’ve deep cleaned your laundry!
