8+ powerful ways to make your clothes white and stainless naturally
Really. Don’t even wash your whites with light colors as the color can transfer to your whites and make them look gray and dingy. Pull a 4-year-old who hates her foods touching, and make sure white loads are for only all-white clothes.
Let clothes soak up the rays
Sun fades. That’s why toeheads look a little blonder after spending hours outside in the summer. Try drying whites on the clothes line. Let the sun help whiten those clothes naturally.
Get rid of stains with dishwashing tablets
The next time you try to whiten up a nasty shirt, toss a dishwashing powder tablet into the wash. The Daily Mail gave it a 7/10 for effectiveness. The same oxidizing agents that help remove stains from dishes work on whites too.
Soak whites in baking soda
Mix 4 cups of water with one cup of baking soda. Let the white item soak in the solution for several hours before running through a regular wash cycle for brighter whites.
Try peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide is effective for cleaning out cuts and scrapes, but it’s also effective for removing stains and making whites look just a little fresher. Add 1/2 cup of peroxide to the wash before running through a cycle.
