Mercadona launches the product to whiten t-shirts or sweaters and leave them as the first day

More and more traditional products are taking center stage again when it comes to household chores and cleaning. In our section Decorwhere we collect this type of articles, we already told you about Beltran Soap and Volvone and now we will talk to you about another one that will surely be familiar to you: sodium percarbonate.

It is a chemical substance that has no color or odor, is soluble in water and has become one of the most effective fundamental products for removing stains from clothing. It can be used directly in the washing machine but should not be confused with baking soda. This type of white powder stands out because it does not damage tissues.

Mercadona, and more specifically its brand Bosque Verde, has this powerful bleach that, in addition to having no harmful effects on the environment, is really economical. A 750 gram package costs less than two euros.

How to use sodium percarbonate

Its use is very simple since you only have to add it to the detergent box to enhance its effectiveness. Choose the clothes you want to put in the laundry, pour in the detergent and fabric softener, and then add a tablespoon of percarbonate. You must choose a program on your washing machine between 30 and 40 degrees.

If you want to use it on white laundry, you can use more product to achieve a completely whitening effect. About three tablespoons for a full washing machine will be enough. We have found that they highly recommend it for washing pillows, especially white ones, since it destroys the typical yellowish stains that we leave over time when sleeping.

Among its many functions is also to eliminate the most difficult stains such as chocolate, coffee, red wine or blood. For this type of situation, we recommend that you mix the powder with hot water until you obtain a dough. Then rub it with a brush, let it sit and put it in the washing machine. Eye! Because if you use it with colored clothing it could damage the fabric, so it is best not to try it.
