5. Deodorizes Musty Laundry
Sometimes laundry doesn’t come out smelling fresh, especially if clothes have been left damp too long. Salt can help neutralize odors naturally.
How to use it:
Add ¼ to ½ cup of salt during the rinse cycle to freshen up musty-smelling clothes or towels.
A Few Tips Before You Start
- Avoid iodized salt for laundry use; opt for plain table salt or coarse sea salt.
- Don’t overuse salt — too much can damage delicate fabrics over time.
- Always do a spot test when using salt on delicate or new garments.
Final Thoughts
Adding salt to your laundry routine might sound unconventional, but it’s an easy and affordable hack that offers real benefits — from brighter clothes to a cleaner washing machine. As with any DIY solution, moderation and proper usage are key. Give it a try, and you might just discover a cleaner, fresher laundry day awaits.
