How to whiten clothes at home?

White fabrics tend to be yellow and gray regardless of the material they are made of. How can you restore their former brightness? Stores and drugstores sell many products designed for whitening laundry. Most of these products are chlorine-based, which can be harmful to both the environment and the skin. A safer and equally effective solution is a homemade fabric whitener.

How do you whiten clothes at home? Use vinegar, baking soda, or hydrogen peroxide. Each of these ingredients has disinfecting and whitening properties. However, there is one more method. Paulina Czajka, known on Instagram as @paulina.czajka_, shared a recipe for whitening bombs that work even more effectively than chlorine.

How do you make them? Take out a large bowl. Pour in a cup of laundry detergent, half a cup of baking soda, 1/4 cup of salt, and about 3 and a half ounces of hydrogen peroxide. Put on gloves and mix all the ingredients. Form balls from the mixture and place them in the freezer for a whole day.

How to use homemade whitening bombs?

Frozen balls should be placed in a bowl filled with warm water and left until they completely dissolve. The prepared solution is ready to use. Just throw the white clothes into it and leave them for an hour. After an hour, put them in the washing machine and wash as usual. Once dry, they will be snow-white.
