Laurel in the washing machine, you will be surprised as soon as you see the clothes: impeccable laundry

However, there is a way to use the plant during washing, you certainly cannot put the leaves as they are in the washing machine because, in addition to having a different effect, you would also run the risk of destroying the device.
What do we need

First we need to have with us some bay leaves and some baking soda . As a rule, to prepare a balanced mixture it is advisable to use 10 bay leaves and 4 teaspoons of baking soda .

Once you have these ingredients, put a saucepan to boil and put the bay leaves and baking soda in it and bring everything to a boil after a few minutes.

In this way, during the boiling process, the baking soda will tend to dissolve slowly while the bay leaves , in addition to giving off a pleasant fragrance, will give off properties that will be useful for washing our clothes.

Once the appropriate temperature has been reached and boiled for a few minutes, we remove the mixture from the heat and drain the liquid into a container or sink, being careful not to burn ourselves.

Once this operation is done, immerse the clothes in the liquid and let them soak for a whole day without adding anything else or removing some clothes or adding others, this could cause problems for the final objective.

After the indicated time, remove the clothes and rinse them in the washing machine or by hand with a normal wash. In this way all our clothes will shine again and will have the same vigor as before, recovering the shine lost in previous washes.
Beyond the laurel

The result will be surprising and this happens because laurel has many properties, including fading and revitalizing color, and that is why this homemade method known to our grandmothers is one of the most effective.

Among others, there are also other methods that use two other completely natural products: salt and apple cider vinegar .

For salt you simply have to immerse a glass of salt in a container full of water and leave it for a whole day and proceed as explained for the use of bay leaves, and also with apple cider vinegar proceed in the same way using at least a full cup submerged in water.

Finally, black tea also seems to be a perfect ally to counteract the faded colors of our clothes. Seeing is believing.
