Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to your washing machine drum before loading clothes. For extra-large loads, use a full cup. Baking soda helps to balance pH levels, softens water, and enhances the detergent's effectiveness. For top-loading machines, add it directly to the drum, and for front-loading machines, place it in the drum as well. Always check your washing machine's manual for compatibility.
