Introduction
Keeping clothes looking bright and fresh can be a challenge, especially when whites start to lose their original luster. While bleach is a common solution, it can be harsh on fabrics and even irritate sensitive skin. Fortunately, there are natural and effective ways to whiten clothes and bring them back to their original brilliance—all without using bleach. In this guide, I’ll share my secret formula that works wonders, using everyday household ingredients that are gentle on fabrics and the environment.
Ingredients
1 cup of baking soda: A natural cleaning agent that removes stains and odors.
½ cup of white vinegar: Helps to brighten whites while softening fabrics.
1 lemon (juiced): Acts as a natural bleaching agent.
4-5 cups of warm water: Facilitates the cleaning process.
Optional: a few drops of essential oil (e.g., lavender or lemon): Adds a fresh scent to your laundry.
