• 200 g of baking soda
• 200 g of salt

Cautionary note

Please read this information carefully !

Remarks

Sodium carbonate can also be used here as an alternative to baking soda. However, it must be closed tightly, as it reacts with moisture in the air and tends to agglomerate. Laundry sodium carbonate is also much stronger and is therefore more suitable for heavily soiled clothes.

For whiter clothes: add 200g of sodium percarbonate.
To remove odours (tobacco, perspiration): add a small glass of baking soda directly into the drum.
For softer laundry: add 1 glass of vinegar in the softening compartment of the machine. Add lavender essential oil if you want the laundry to smell good (more effective than in laundry).
