Are you missing an essential step in your laundry routine? Find out what you need to get stubborn stains out

Are you tired of struggling with tough stains and feeling like your laundry products are lacking? Don't worry, we've got a game-changing tip that will take your routine to the next level!

Sure, laundry detergent is great for everyday washes, but if you want your clothes to come out looking fresh and stain-free, you've need to try using a laundry booster.



According to Zachary Pozniak, a dry cleaner from abroad, laundry boosters are a great way to enhance the cleaning power and overall performance of your laundry products. In a recent TikTok video, he showed us how to use boosters to tackle even the toughest stains.

He used two swatches of stained fabric to demonstrate just how much of a difference boosters can make. One swatch was washed with regular detergent, and the other was washed with the same detergent plus a booster - and the results were truly amazing!

We all know how frustrating it can be to have dull, discoloured clothes even after they've been washed. Luckily, aside from stain removal, laundry boosters can also help to brighten and whiten your clothes, giving them that crisp, fresh look you've been looking for.

And of course, we all sweat, and sometimes our clothes can start to smell - that's where laundry boosters can also come in. With their powerful fragrances, they can eliminate unpleasant odours, leaving your clothes smelling clean and ready to wear.

Some laundry boosters also contain fabric softeners that can make your clothes feel like they've been wrapped in a cosy blanket. Whether you're snuggling up on the couch or running errands, you'll love the way your clothes feel after adding them to your laundry routine.



If you're not sure which booster to use, here are some of Pozniak's recommendations.

First up is sodium percarbonate, which works wonders on all kinds of stains and is especially great for mitigating the colour of stubborn marks. It works best in hot water, so you'll want to make sure your washing machine is set to the highest temperature possible.

You can find sodium percarbonate (also known as oxygen bleach) at eco retailers or in products like NapiSan Vanish Oxi Action and Coles Ultra Oxy Action Laundry Booster and Soaker. Trust us, once you try this stuff, you'll never go back to regular detergent again!

Next up, we've got borax or sodium borate. This amazing booster helps to soften water, which makes your detergent work even better. If you live in an area with hard water, this is the booster for you!

And finally, there's washing soda (aka sodium carbonate), which is a real lifesaver when it comes to stain removal. This stuff is a must-have in your laundry arsenal!



If you're feeling overwhelmed by all the laundry boosters out there, don't worry - Zachary Pozniak has got you covered with his laundry booster recipe! This magic mix is his go-to for most loads and, according to him, 'it honestly works wonders'.

So what's in this DIY booster?

It's super simple - just two parts washing soda, one part borax, and one part sodium percarbonate. Just toss a scoop of this magic mix into the drum before you load your clothes in and use it alongside your regular detergent.



It's important to note, though, that this booster doesn't replace your detergent - so make sure you're still using your usual laundry powder/liquid!

After Pozniak's video went the rounds on social media, many people were left wondering whether sodium percarbonate would work in cold water. It's a great question and one that plenty of laundry experts have weighed in on.



While it's true that sodium percarbonate works best in hot water, that doesn't mean it's ineffective in cold water. In fact, many people who wash their clothes in cold water but still use oxygen bleach have found success by dissolving the booster in hot water first and then adding it to their load.

This can help the laundry booster work more effectively and ensure that your clothes come out looking their best.



One thing to keep in mind when shopping for laundry boosters is to not confuse washing soda with baking soda. While they may sound similar, they're two very different products.

Washing soda (sodium carbonate) is great for stain removal and softening water, while baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is better known for its uses in cooking and baking. So be sure to double-check the label before you make your purchase!

I've used Vanish oxy spray and it has made my garments yellow. So becareful what you use.

I have a white Sheridan $600 bedspread which my granddaughter got blue pen on it I think it had leaked .
I used cotton balls and methylated spirits. In the beginning as I was dabbing it looked like it was getting worst but I kept using clean cotton balls and more metho and I kept dabbing not rubbing and after maybe 12 cottonballs later it had completely vanished not any trace at all
 
Laundry liquid soap or powder are enough to clean clothes/items. If there's a food stain, I use a bar of soap & an awesome little laundry scrubber from Ikea before washing. Always best to treat stains before you add to the washing machine imo.

I already use NapiSan Vanish Oxi Action to soak clothes in that have stubborn stains and it works great that way, don't use in a normal wash as I can't afford the extra hot water on my gas bill. To remove other stains I just make the stained garment wet, rub Sard Wonder Soap or Exit Soap into it and scrub with a scrubbing brush then toss in the wash. Presto, they come out clean.
 
I put about 2 cups of bi-carb soda in my cold water wash with aldi washing powder and this seems to get rid of stains, if stains need instant attention I make bi carb paste and rub in till stain goes. Very cheap.
