This summer, have you faced this dilemma: your once-beautiful white clothes have turned yellow? Too good to throw away, but unsightly to wear? Here are a few tips to help your white garments "transform."
Yellowing from sweat stains: Wash with cold water, not hot. Orange peel method: Boil orange peels in water, then soak and scrub the stained areas in the yellow liquid to restore whiteness.Toothpaste application: Wet the garment first, apply a layer of toothpaste to the sweat stains, gently scrub with a brush for one to two minutes, then wash. Rice washing water: Soak the yellowed clothes in rice washing water and rub them to restore their whiteness.
Yellowed from prolonged storage. Try this: blanch spinach in hot water, then rub the yellowed areas of clothing in the spinach water. Soak for 10 minutes before washing. Soaking in water used to boil white radish also whitens clothes.For pure cotton fabrics: Soak in clean water, scrub with soap or detergent, rinse thoroughly, then seal in a plastic bag and sun-dry for over an hour before final scrubbing. Lemon juice method: Add lemon juice to water, soak for 10 minutes before washing.
