The challenge of keeping linens, towels, and clothing sparkling white is familiar to many. Over time, these items often develop a yellow or gray hue, primarily due to sweat and body fluids. While these stains might seem stubborn, several natural remedies can effectively restore your laundry’s brightness.
1. Soda Crystals: A Multi-Purpose Solution
Soda crystals are a powerful ally in the laundry room. Adding just 1/2 cup (125 ml) to your wash can not only brighten whites and enhance colors but also minimize limescale buildup in your washing machine. This simple addition to your regular laundry routine can significantly impact the overall appearance of your garments.
2. Hydrogen Peroxide: The Bleaching Agent
For cotton laundry or white fabrics that have turned yellow, washing at high temperatures (95°C) on a long cycle with hydrogen peroxide can be remarkably effective. This method leverages the bleaching properties of hydrogen peroxide, removing yellowing without the harsh effects of chlorine bleach.
3. Marseille Soap: The Time-Tested Remedy
