White fabrics tend to lose their bright, pristine color with each wash, often turning gray or yellow, and losing their fresh and appealing look.
Although there are many chemical bleaches available, they are potent agents that can weaken fabric fibers and irritate the skin.
Fortunately, there are natural methods to restore your clothes to their original snowy white.
How to Restore the Whiteness of Clothes?
- Baking Soda Many homemakers value baking soda for its cleaning and refreshing properties. It can also effectively restore the whiteness of clothes. Mix 250 ml of baking soda with 4 liters of water and soak your clothes in this solution. Afterwards, wash as usual.
Baking soda can also be used to freshen up smelly shoes. Sprinkle a bit inside your shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors.
- Aspirin Acetylsalicylic acid in aspirin is highly effective at removing stains. Crush 6 aspirin tablets and dissolve them in a bowl of water. Soak the clothes for 30 minutes before washing as usual.
Aspirin can also help remove sweat stains from white shirts. Dissolve a couple of tablets in water, apply the solution to the stains, and let it sit before washing.
- Vinegar and Lemon Vinegar effectively removes stains and unpleasant odors from fabrics, while preventing them from turning gray and yellow. Add a tablespoon of vinegar and a tablespoon of lemon juice to your laundry. Your clothes will come out white, fresh, and fragrant.
Vinegar can also be used to soften clothes. Add half a cup to your rinse cycle to keep your fabrics soft and static-free.
