Natural Solutions for Brighter Whites: Eco-Friendly Laundry Tips !!

Vinegar: A Natural Fabric Softener and Whitener
White vinegar is yet another good alternative in natural form for maintaining the brightness of white fabrics. It acts as a natural fabric conditioner, whilst removing residues from detergents that make clothes look dull over time. Add about 1/2 cup of white vinegar to your regular laundry detergent during the rinse cycle.. As a result, most of soap scum and mineral deposits will be removed from textile fibres making them smooth and shinning.
Hydrogen Peroxide: Safe and Effective Whitening Agent
Hydrogen peroxide is a mild bleaching agent that effectively whitens white clothes without the harmful effects associated with chlorine bleach. By releasing oxygen upon contact with stains, it breaks them up to lift them away from the cloth material. To use hydrogen peroxide pour about half cup into your washing machine’s detergent container. One should ensure proper dilution and avoid using too much as higher concentrations could potentially weaken fibers over time.
Lemon Juice: Freshness from Nature and Whiteness
Lemon juice is a kitchen necessity that doubles as a natural bleach to whiten white clothes. Citric acid found in lemon acts as a natural bleaching agent, removing stains on surfaces made of fabric and brightening fabrics. You can use lemon juice by putting half a cup into your washing machine’s detergent compartment with your regular detergent. Moreover, the laundry will acquire fresh citrus aroma thereby making your
clothes smell clean again.
