Add 125 ml of hydrogen peroxide to the washing machine during the wash cycle.
For more stubborn stains, apply hydrogen peroxide directly to the fabric before washing.
Hydrogen peroxide is also an excellent disinfectant, so it does double duty: not only will it make your clothes shiny, but it will also rid them of bacteria.
4. Lemon Juice:
Lemon juice is another natural ingredient that can brighten white clothes. Known for its astringent properties, lemon juice can help remove stains and freshen fabrics. While its stain-removing power is somewhat limited compared to other natural ingredients, it works wonders when combined with methods like sun drying.
How to use lemon juice:
Boil some water and add a few lemon slices. Soak your clothes in the lemon water for about an hour before washing them as usual.
You can also mix lemon juice with salt and a little soap to create a pre-wash solution. Apply it to the stained areas before washing, then dry the clothes in the sun for best results.Lemon juice not only helps whiten, but it also gives clothes a fresh, clean scent.
5. Milk
It may seem unusual, but milk is traditionally used to whiten delicate fabrics. The proteins in milk help remove dirt and stains, making clothes brighter. This method works best on lightly soiled clothes and delicate fabrics, not on heavily stained ones.
How to use milk:
Soak the garment in a bowl of milk for a few hours.
Rinse the garment thoroughly and wash it as usual.
Milk isn't as effective as other options, but it's great for delicate whites like lace or fine linen.
