A simple but increasingly used trick is changing the way many Portuguese wash their clothes. And the secret is in a natural ingredient that almost everyone has at home, better known for its use in the kitchen. Recently, there is also a prominent gain in laundries – and for good reasons.
According to West Magazine, it is rosemary, a plant widely recognized for its beneficial properties, which go beyond cooking. When introduced in the washing of clothing, it can help both cleaning and scent of pieces, acting as a natural alternative to traditional chemicals.
An antimicrobial aid
Rosemary contains compounds such as rosmarinic acid, carnosol and eucalyptol, with antimicrobial properties, writes the publication. When placed on the washing machine, these components help eliminate microorganisms that may be present in the garments.
According to the same source, rosemary still acts as a deodorant agent, helping to neutralize odors and leaving a fresh aroma. This feature becomes especially useful for fabrics that accumulate smells more easily, such as towels or bedding.
How to apply the trick at home
To take advantage of these benefits, it is possible to use fresh or dry branches. According to West Magazine, fresh branches should be cut slightly before entering the machine to better release the aroma and properties. However, it is recommended to place them in a small bag of cloth or network to prevent it from loose during washing.
The process is simple and can be incorporated into the weekly routine. When adding rosemary to washing, the use of synthetic perfumes or artificial softeners is also avoided.

In addition to improving cleaning, the plant can be a sustainable and economic solution, increasingly valued in times of greater environmental concern.
This domestic use of rosemary reflects a growing trend of looking for natural solutions, especially among those who have sensitive skin or want to reduce the ecological footprint.

What if you want to wash tennis?
Another point addressed by the publication concerns the machine washing on the machine. Although not directly related to the use of rosemary, West magazine recalls that washing tennis on the machine can damage both the device and the shoes.
In such cases, it is recommended to opt for a short cycle, with cold water and without centrifugation, whenever manual washing is not feasible. After washing, the tennis should be placed to dry in the shadow and in a well -ventilated place.
Avoid using greenhouses or dryers prolongs the durability of materials and prevents shoes deformations.
Ecological and effective solution
According to the same source, this practice with rosemary has been gaining supporters especially among those looking for natural and sustainable alternatives in everyday life. By replacing scented detergents and additives with plant -based solutions, it is possible to reduce environmental impact while protecting skin from potentially irritating substances.
The simplicity of the application and the reported benefits make this trick a practical and accessible option. For those cultivating rosemary at home, the adoption of this practice is even easier.
More uses for a versatile plant
Rosemary, in addition, has a long tradition in domestic use, and is also used in infusions and as a natural environment. Its laundry application is just another way to take advantage of its properties.
According to the regular use of rosemary can bring visible results over time, especially with regard to the freshness of clothes and the softness of tissues.
For those seeking to simplify care for clothing without abdicating hygiene and comfort, this can be a solution to consider.
