For example, our grandmothers were well known for washing laundry with bay leaves. It helps refresh the fabric and make it softer.
To replace modern conditioner with bay leaves, you need to know a couple of things.
Laundry washed with bay leaves will have the same pleasant scent as with synthetic conditioner.
It is said to be able to restore color and protect clothing from fading.
Washing
The easiest way is to put the bay leaves in the washing machine drum, and to prevent crushed spices from being scattered, it is better to put them in a cloth bag.
Soaking
You will achieve a greater effect if you prepare a decoction from bay leaves and use it to soak colored fabrics. You need 10-15 bay leaves per liter of boiling water, boil for three minutes.
The resulting concentrate should steep for 20–30 minutes and cool down.
Strain the infusion and pour it into a bowl of water, soak the laundry for a few hours and then wash it in the washing machine or by hand.
Washing light-colored laundry
In this case, it is better not to use bay leaves. It is much easier to use two tablespoons of salt.
This helps remove stains and prevent clothes from fading.
