Here are four simple grandma’s recommendations that really work.
Are you also familiar with this problem when washing your favorite snow-white outfits, when after a couple of attempts to refresh and give your clothes a pristine look at the exit you get a strangely incomprehensible yellow-gray shade? In order not to throw away your favorite thing, we recommend using simple tips that, we are sure, even a novice housewife can handle.
Our grandmothers knew a lot about bleaching things. After all, then such a variety of household chemicals did not yet exist, so women had to invent their own methods that would really work. One of these methods is as follows: pour hot water into a bucket (it is better if it is not a plastic bucket), stir a little potassium permanganate (so that the water becomes a little pinkish) and add a little washing powder (200 g will be enough). Stir all this thoroughly until the powder dissolves. Then cover the bucket with a lid, wait until the water is at room temperature, and put your things there. Rinse thoroughly.
You can use the following method to refresh and add a snow-white shine to outfits made of linen or cotton. Add a little ammonia to the water (if the pollution is strong, you can also drop a couple of tablespoons of turpentine), mix thoroughly and soak clothes in this water for several hours. Then wash as usual.
There is another tried and tested method to whiten guipure or tulle. Pour hot water into a bucket, add hydrogen peroxide (a couple of tablespoons) and ammonia (one spoon will be enough). Stir the solution thoroughly, soak things in it for 30 minutes, and then wash as usual.
There is another way to whiten things. Prepare a solution (dissolve 2 tsp of 1% peroxide and a little soda in 3 liters of water), soak the clothes and leave for 20 minutes. From time to time, outfits need to be turned over and then rinsed thoroughly.
