But few know that it can be useful not only during cooking. With correct use a small amount of salt is capable of making washing more effective and helping to keep things in good condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What salt is added for during washing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most often salt is used when washing coloured things. It helps the fabrics preserve brightness longer, especially if the clothes are new and can slightly bleed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, salt can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>help reduce residues of detergent in the fabric;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>make towels and bed linen more pleasant to the touch with hard water;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>slightly reduce unpleasant odours on clothes before the main wash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to use correctly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For one wash 1 teaspoon of ordinary table salt is enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be poured right into the drum together with the laundry or added to the compartment for washing powder. Increasing the amount is not worth it \u2014 a larger volume of salt will not improve the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When this method is especially useful<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It suits best for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>coloured T-shirts and shirts;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>denim clothing;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>towels;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>bed linen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is especially useful to use this technique in the first several washes of new clothes, when the dye can still wash out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is important to remember<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salt does not replace high-quality washing powder and does not remove complex stains. Also it is not worth pouring it into the machine in large portions \u2014 there will be no benefit from this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If salt is used moderately and combined with a suitable washing mode and a good detergent, things will longer preserve a neat appearance and saturated colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes the simplest home tricks turn out to be really useful. The main thing is to observe measure and use them wisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This material was prepared by the editorial team using artificial intelligence tools.
