How to wash clothes so that they are white and do not fade

If you want to wash clothes more cleanly and avoid fading problems, you should pay attention to certain techniques. When washing synthetic fiber clothes, you can add alum or lemon juice to make the clothes cleaner and whiter.

1. Reverse sun exposure method. When drying clothes, turn them inside out with the inside facing the sun and the outside facing the shade.

2. Add alum method. When washing synthetic fiber clothes, add some salt to the water; when washing high-quality clothes, add a small amount of alum to the water. These can prevent or reduce the fading of clothes. (Alum is available at pharmacies)

3. Pickling method. When washing colored fabrics, adding 1-2 spoons of vinegar to the detergent can also prevent the clothes from fading.

4. Add lemon juice method: When washing white silk fabrics (such as white socks), add some lemon juice to the water, soak for 10 minutes, and finally rinse with clean water to make the clothes whiter.

5. Skim milk soaking method: Soak white silk fabrics in skim milk before washing, or add 2 tablespoons of milk to the water during the last rinse to maintain the original color of the white silk fabrics and prevent them from turning yellow.

6. Orange peel water soaking method: When washing white clothes, you can put orange peels in a pot and heat them to boiling. Use the yellow soup to soak and scrub the clothes, which can make the clothes as white as new.

Precautions

1. Wash separately, do not wash with other clothes even if the colors are similar and do not fade. Soak in clean water for 15 minutes after washing, and try not to leave foam from soap, washing powder, etc. on the clothes.

2. Place in a cool place to dry slowly. Do not dry in the sun. Put the washed clothes into a fresh-keeping bag and put them in the freezer of the refrigerator. Take them out after about an hour.

3. Avoid sun exposure as much as possible. Do not expose white clothes to the sun, as this will cause them to turn yellow. Wash clothes separately. Use a good neutral detergent. Use bleach appropriately.
