A great white dress shirt is a staple in most wardrobes, whether it’s worn under a suit or breezing around town in the summer. Crisp white shorts make a fun piece in a photo-worthy toddler outfit or paired with a colorful top for those who are more grown up. But white clothes can scare people away because any dirt or stain on the clothing shines like the sun.
If you want to start rocking white clothes but you’re hesitant to waste money on clothes that will look grimy after being worn once or twice, check out these ways to whiten up clothes to perfection.
Add lemon juice to the wash
Help white laundry look even fresher by adding a 1/2 cup of lemon juice to the hottest water you can manage. Soak whites for at least an hour (or overnight) and run the wash as usual.
