Baking Soda for Laundry

To use baking soda in laundry, add about half a cup (roughly 100 g) to the washing machine drum together with your usual detergent. Baking soda neutralizes odors, helps detergent work better by keeping the wash water slightly alkaline, and leaves clothes and towels fresher.

Pars Baking Soda Group manufactures sodium bicarbonate in Iran. We supply household baking soda in 1 kg and 3 kg packs for distributors, and sodium bicarbonate in bulk for detergent and cleaning product manufacturers in Russia, Central Asia, and neighboring markets.

How to Use Baking Soda in the Laundry

Simple, low-cost ways to get fresher, cleaner laundry with baking soda.

01

Boost Your Detergent

Add about half a cup (roughly 100 g) of baking soda to the drum with your regular detergent. It keeps the wash water slightly alkaline, which helps detergent lift dirt and grease.

02

Remove Odors

For gym clothes, towels and pet bedding, soak items for a few hours in a bucket of water with about one cup (200 g) of baking soda, then wash as usual.

03

Pre-Treat Stains

Mix baking soda with a little water to make a paste, rub it gently into stains such as sweat marks or food spots, leave it for 15-30 minutes, then wash.

04

Freshen the Washing Machine

Run an empty hot cycle with about one cup of baking soda in the drum to help remove odors and residue from the machine.

Tips for Using Baking Soda in Laundry

Do not mix it with vinegar in the same cycle. The two neutralize each other. If you use both, add baking soda to the wash and vinegar to the rinse.

Dissolve it first for cold washes. Baking soda dissolves more slowly in cold water, so pre-dissolve it in warm water before adding it.

Be careful with delicate fabrics. Wool and silk are sensitive to alkaline products. Follow the care label and use a detergent made for delicates.

Good to know: Baking soda supports your detergent but does not replace it. For heavily soiled laundry, always use a proper laundry detergent.
