White Sugar and Laundry Detergent: A Surprising Household Combination

White sugar and laundry detergent are common household ingredients. Each has its own purpose, but when combined, they bring about many unexpected benefits.

Do you know the amazing effect of adding white sugar to laundry detergent?

How to do it:
First, put two tablespoons of sugar into a bowl, then add two tablespoons of laundry detergent. Add a little water and stir well until dissolved. Finally, mix thoroughly so that the sugar and detergent are completely combined — and you’ll have a homemade solution.

Uses of this mixture include:

• Repelling mosquitoes:
  The mixture of white sugar and laundry detergent is extremely effective in keeping insects away. The sweet scent and taste of sugar attract mosquitoes, but once they come into contact with the detergent, they are trapped and eliminated. The mild fragrance of detergent also adds a sterilizing effect. Especially during hot weather when mosquitoes are more active, this trick can help keep your home mosquito-free.

• Removing stains from clothes:
  For yellowed face towels or bath towels, sprinkle a little detergent and sugar on them, rub gently, and the yellow stains can be easily cleaned after just one wash.

• Killing cockroaches:
  Cockroaches are unhygienic insects that spread disease. Place this mixture where cockroaches often hide, or pour it into a spray bottle and apply it in corners where they appear. The cockroaches will soon leave or be eliminated.

• Eliminating odors from drains:
  Drain odors can be unpleasant and affect your living space. After using the mixture for cleaning or insect control, pour the rest down the drain to remove odors and prevent insects from coming up through the pipes.
