Despite the fact that modern detergents are very effective, they do not always cope with stains of various origins, yellowed or grayed out in the usual washing mode. In such cases, "folk recipes" come to the rescue, which will help you easily return things to their original color.
How to get rid of stains with minimal effort
In order to return their original color to cotton or linen items and save them from pollution, you will need a capacious enameled pan or bucket. Fill it with water about two-thirds and bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Add to the water (based on 5-7 liters of water):
- 3-4 tablespoons of washing powder (it is better to use a product marked "Automatic" with reduced foaming);
- 2 tablespoons of powder oxygen bleach (such as "Bos", "Ac", "Eco"),
- 2 tablespoons of odorless vegetable oil.
Stir until the detergents dissolve, then immerse the contaminated items in the soap solution and leave to cool completely. After that, things will only have to be rinsed - and make sure that the dirt has gone without a trace. On white and light things, a whitening effect will also be noticeable.
Many housewives do not risk trying this recipe because of the presence of oil in it. However, these fears are in vain: oil, as you know, is an excellent solvent and helps get rid of stains. At the same time, there will be no greasy marks on the laundry - while the water cools, the detergents have time to completely neutralize the oil.
This proven folk method turns out to be a real salvation for things with complex pollution: such a "home dry cleaning" successfully copes with most types of stains and allows you to return the original freshness to worn, washed, yellowed and grayed things.
In this way, you can process:
- children's things with numerous spots from food, grass, earth;
- stained diapers;
- bed linen or towels that have lost their original whiteness;
- shirts with mud entrenched in collars and cuffs;
- sweatshirts and T-shirts;
- plain clothes;
- natural cotton underwear and more.
