Thanks to this ingredient we can save money when we run the washing machine. Here’s what it is.
Every day we find ourselves having to put a few clothes in the laundry basket to wash them and then have some clean ones to wear while we wait for them to be washed and then reused.
There are different ways to wash these clothes, but the most common is the washing machine because it saves us time and is faster than washing by hand which is only recommended in certain cases.
Washing machine: the ingredient that saves us money
If we find ourselves in front of clothes with a particular print and which must be washed cold, also because of their fabric which could deteriorate in the washing machine, it is better to wash them by hand.
Usually the washing machine can be turned on at any time of the day, but due to electricity consumption, many Italian citizens turn it on in the evening, when the autonomy is low.
For this reason, the noise from this device will be little heard in the morning compared to the evening, although we must be careful when operating it because it must not cause acoustic damage to our neighbors.
To have soft and fragrant clothes, we tend to buy specific fabric softeners and detergents, but many of them can contain elements that can be harmful over time.
For this reason, many housewives have relied on the advice passed down from generation to generation by their grandmothers and these see the use of natural ingredients in the washing machine tub.
Among the most common are sodium bicarbonate or Marseille soap flakes or lemon juice, but there is one in particular that solves many problems and saves us a lot of money.
What to use inside your device
We’re talking about white vinegar . This ingredient will not only tend to whiten our clothes and therefore prevent marks from forming and persistent stains, but thanks to its properties it will make the clothes soft.
In addition, its particular scent will stay on our clothes for a long time and thanks to the addition of an essential oil we will be able to have a natural detergent to use every time we run the washing machine .
This is useful because white vinegar , in addition to washing and disinfecting our clothes, will also tend to act on the washing machine itself, preventing limescale deposits and other debris from sticking inside.
Thus, our device will not only clean our clothes impeccably and make them shiny, but it will have benefited from special maintenance thanks to the action of the vinegar and we will have saved a lot of money.
In fact, by replacing it with detergents we can have this ingredient for just €3 that could last us several months and we will prevent our washing machine from being damaged and having to resort to an expert.
This advice is just one of the many that our grandmothers passed on to us and which are still today, after a long time, among the most effective and used by the most expert housewives .
