Hang dirty clothes up to dry if you can't wash them right away, as piling them up in the hamper allows germs to flourish and leads to an unpleasant odor.
Fill the sink with warm water. Pour in 1 cup of baking soda and add the soiled clothing. Allow the pieces to soak for 15 to 30 minutes before hand washing.
Use the warmest water possible when hand washing laundry because hot water eliminates germs more effectively.
Hand wash the clothes twice if they are extremely soiled.
Rinse the clothes until the water runs clear to ensure that all dirt and detergent is removed.
Hang the clothes on an outdoor clothesline to dry because this helps kill germs and leaves behind a naturally fresh scent.
