How can I make yellow clothes white?

Today's living standards are constantly improving, and more and more people are beginning to pay attention to spiritual enjoyment, so everyone is beginning to pay special attention to their own image, among which dressing is very important. Dressing cleanly will enhance our image, but in life, many people wear white clothes, which are prone to yellowing due to improper washing or storage problems. Wearing them again will affect their own image. If we can master some washing methods, we can make clothes white as new. Let's learn how to make yellow clothes white.

How to make yellow clothes white?

(1) Clothes turn yellow, mostly because the fluorescent agent becomes weaker. If you want your clothes to be white and bright again, you have to find a way.

Rice washing water + orange peel is simple and effective:

Keep the rice washing water or put orange peels in a pot, add water and boil them, then soak the yellowed clothes in it and scrub them to easily restore their whiteness. Not only is it simple, it also does not have side effects on the skin like the fluorescent whitening agents sold on the market and does not damage clothes. It is a good method worth a try.

Yellow stains from sweat can be removed with ammonia:

Sweat stains produced by sweating, because sweat contains fat, are easy to condense in the fabric fibers, so add about 2 tablespoons of ammonia water when washing, soak for a few minutes, scrub, and then rinse with clean water. Follow the general laundry procedure to remove the yellow sweat stains!

(2) Sometimes, white or light-colored clothes will turn yellow over time. The main reason for the yellowing of white or light-colored clothes is the oil secreted by the human body, especially polyester fabrics, which are more prone to yellowing. In addition, there are fat residues left over from washing (most obviously found in flax fibers). If they are not rinsed thoroughly, they will cause large areas of clothes to turn yellow. There are ways to get rid of this phenomenon, such as using a large amount of detergent when washing clothes that can be washed in high temperature water. A traditional way is to hang the yellowed clothes in the sun, but before that, apply fresh lemon juice on the yellowed area, add some salt and rub it gently.

WARNING: Use caution and avoid using chlorine bleach. Fabrics such as spandex, silk, and wool will become more yellow when exposed to chlorine bleach.

(3) White clothes will turn yellow if they are left for a long time. The main component of yellow stains is protein. Spinach will release soluble protein after being boiled in water.

The above is an introduction on how to make yellow clothes white. Mastering more common sense in life can greatly improve our quality of life. We can try the above methods when we encounter clothes that cannot be washed clean. In addition, when storing clothes, try to put them in a dry and ventilated place to avoid yellowing of clothes.
