Natural alternatives to bleach, advice from grandmothers
There are many alternatives to bleach, which give even better results. Our grandmothers, for example, did not use a washing machine, many did not even have one. To remove stains from discoloured or yellowed clothes, they did not use a washing machine or chemical products, but effort, a basin full of water and lots of white vinegar.
Vinegar is a natural product that can neutralize odors and eliminate bacteria. It also has a bleaching power that few people are aware of. To remove stains from clothes with vinegar, add 150 ml of white vinegar to a liter of water.
At this point, soak the clothes for an hour. If you need to treat streaks or stains of any kind, simply add dish soap and then wash with plenty of water. As for sheets, tablecloths, curtains, grandmothers used cold milk. This was a perfect remedy to recover the bright color and regain the same softness as before.
