How To Make a Baking Soda Paste for Stains
A baking soda paste is a great option to use to pre-treat even the toughest stains. Making a baking soda paste requires only water and baking soda. To make it, mix a 2 to 1 ratio of baking soda and warm water in a small bowl. If you use 1 cup of baking soda, you’ll only need 1/2 a cup of water. This pasty mixture can be applies to stained clothing before laundering. A baking soda paste helps draw the stain out of the fabric to be trapped and held in the baking soda. As the paste dries, it removes the stains. Before using baking soda, be sure to check for colorfastness first. Don’t be afraid to change up the amount of water you add to make a paste to the consistency that you like working with.
Using Baking Soda for Smelly Stains
Stains that have a really bad odor benefit from baking soda as a pre-treater. Dried baking soda sucks up moisture and laundry odors as it sits in contact with them. Pouring baking soda on a wet stain and allowing it to sit can help remove both the stain and the odor.
Baking Soda and Blood Stains
Use a baking soda paste rubbed onto a dampened blood stain. Allow it to sit for up to an hour. It can help lift the stain from the fabric. Because baking soda also can whiten, it will help to remove the color or dye portion of the stain as well.
Baking Soda and Sweat
A baking soda paste can be useful in banishing sweat stains and odors on clothing. Rub the paste onto the stained area of the clothing before laundering. Tough stains may need to let the paste sit for 1-2 hours. Just brush the baking soda off into a sink or trash before washing normally. Once again, the baking soda also works to absorb any odors from the clothing that may be lingering.
Baking Soda and Fruit/Wine Stains
Fruit and wine stains need to be treated right away, but if you’re in a hurry, pour a little baking soda on the stain, and then later run hot water through the back of the stain. This is an emergency pre-treating method that really works. The baking soda soaks up any liquid remaining on the clothing as it sits and dries.
Baking Soda and Vomit
Oh how I hate this stain. Usually a lot is going on when you have someone throwing up in your home. Trying to deal with the laundry in the moment is not easy. And even if you did deal with it right away, the smell of vomit can linger even in clothing that has been washed. Sprinkling baking soda on the site and rubbing it in can help remove the smell when it is washed. This is especially help with spit-up when washing baby clothes. You can even pour baking soda on the stained area and then come back to it later when life calms down and you actually have the time to work on the stain. The baking soda will have absorbed the remaining liquid and helped to absorb odors, too.
