Instructions:
- Crush the Aspirin: Grind the aspirin tablets into a fine powder. You can use a mortar and pestle or place them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Add to Laundry: Pour the crushed aspirin into the detergent dispenser of your washing machine, along with your regular detergent.
- Wash: Run a wash cycle using cold water and select the “whites” option. Aspirin works best in cooler water temperatures.
Why It Works:
Aspirin contains acetylsalicylic acid, which helps break down mineral deposits and hard water stains that can make whites look dull. It’s also useful for tackling sweat stains.
Important Note:
Avoid using aspirin on colored garments, as it may cause mild fading.
Bonus Tip: Black Pepper for Enhanced Cleaning
Black pepper can be a surprising addition to your laundry routine. It helps to boost the cleaning power of your detergent, making it effective against grime and odors. Simply add a teaspoon of black pepper to your wash along with your regular detergent.
Give these pantry staples a try and see how they can make your laundry routine more effective and cost-efficient. Enjoy cleaner, brighter clothes with a touch of innovation from your kitchen!
