4. Baking soda

Baking soda is one of the most used ecological products when cleaning dirty clothes and the house. Its  astringent and whitening action is used to care for delicate garments  , including socks. It is recommended  to combine it with lemon juice or hydrogen peroxide  to enhance its cleaning effects.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons baking soda (20 g)
• ½ lemon

How to use

• Rub the two tablespoons of baking soda into the damp socks, let them sit for a few minutes, and then rub them with half a lemon.
• To finish, wait another 10 minutes, rinse them and dry them in the sun.

5. White vinegar

Using white vinegar to wash clothes is a very common practice, especially among people who have opted for 100% ecological cleaning methods. This is stated in this research from the University of Massachusetts Lowell (United States). This product contains acids and active compounds that, in addition to removing dirt,   disinfect and neutralize bad odors.  In addition,   it serves as an alternative to softening products,   since it has similar effects, but without containing aggressive chemicals.
