The Salt Secret: Why Adding Salt to Your Washing Machine Could Save Your Clothes and Your Machine

Store your salt in a dry place—moisture will cause clumping.

Use non-iodized salt for better results (less residue).

Avoid using salt on delicate fabrics like silk or wool.

Variations:
Add salt and vinegar together for extra color protection and odor removal.

Use salt on towels to help restore softness after repeated washes.

FAQ:
Q: Does salt really set colors in clothes?
A: Yes! Salt helps lock dye into the fabric, preventing color bleeding during washes.

Q: Can salt damage my washing machine?
A: No—when used in small amounts (1–2 tablespoons), it can actually help reduce limescale and detergent buildup.
