No matter how neat you are, white things will sooner or later lose their original color. Therefore, the question of how to whiten white things at home is relevant in our time. For a guaranteed result, it is worth taking the products to dry cleaning. However, there are other, more affordable methods.
At home, you can whiten white things without the use of special substances and methods, if you follow some simple recommendations:
- White items need to be washed separately. Otherwise, they will acquire shades of colors of other fabrics.
- All things are made of different materials. Cotton, synthetics or linen require individual modes.
- Soak items before washing.
- Monitor the drainage status of the washing machine. If it clogs, rinsing things will be ineffective. Because of this, spots will certainly appear.
How to bleach faded things
Often a ticket, a banknote, a candy wrapper, etc. can get into the wash with white things. Because of these seemingly insignificant items, clothes fade. Therefore, getting rid of stains will be more difficult.
To whiten such things, you can use a tool to clean randomly painted items. It is sold both in specialized stores and in mass stores. When choosing, consider the material of the product.
But cotton will clean any bleach. Normal whiteness will do. Dissolve it in cool water and soak the product for 30 minutes. If your washing machine has a “Prewash” mode, activate it before the main procedure. If there is no machine, you can boil the laundry in water with the addition of laundry soap. The procedure lasts about an hour.
How to whiten graying things
People who need to bleach white things at home often want to rid their products of dullness. The most affordable and best means are hydrogen peroxide and pharmacy ammonia:
- Type 10 liters of boiled water into the basin.
- Dissolve in a liquid of 2 tbsp. peroxide and alcohol.
- Soak the products in solution for half an hour.
- Drain and wash your clothes in the usual way.
Hydrogen peroxide can be replaced with baking soda. However, things should not be soaked for 30 minutes, but for 3-4 hours. In this case, you need to take 5 liters of water.
