While baking soda is an excellent, mild abrasive cleaner for hard surfaces and laundry deodorizing, you should never use baking soda when washing delicate natural protein fibers like silk and wool, or specialized technical waterproof garments. Baking soda is mildly alkaline, and applying it directly to delicate wool and silk threads can weaken the protein structures, strip natural moisture, and degrade the fabric. You can troubleshoot fabric safety easily by checking garment care tags. You can verify that you are protecting your wardrobe when washing delicate woolens with neutral detergents while reserving baking soda solely for heavy cottons, towels, and tough odor removal.
