Bay leaf, an ingredient to care for laundry
When doing laundry, it is important not to mix colors. Indeed, because of poor laundry sorting, clothes can fade and lose their original color. If you find yourself in this situation, know that it is possible to recover a cloth that has rubbed off, without damaging it, especially if it is delicate, thanks to the bay leaves. For this, the trick is simple.
Simply mix in a pot 2 liters of water with 12 bay leaves sauce and bring the mixture to a boil.
Then remove the pot from the heat and let the mixture steep for 15 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and dip your laundry in the pot.
Use a wooden spatula to stir your garment from time to time and let it sit until the infusion cools.
Another trick is to mix in a saucepan 4 bay leaves with 2 tablespoons of baking soda.
Fill the pot with water and bring your mixture to a boil. When your mixture has boiled, lower the heat and simmer for another 20 minutes. Then, pour your mixture into a basin and soak your laundry that has rubbed off.
Leave on for a whole day, rinse and wash as usual. This grandmother’s trick allows your laundry to regain its shine.
