3 Tricks to Whiten Laundry and Remove Any Type of Stain

Immediate Use: These methods work best when applied immediately before or during laundry. Make sure to wash the clothing right after applying the treatments to get the best results.

Storage: If you have leftover lemon and salt paste or a batch of baking soda, you can store them in an airtight container for later use, but it’s best to apply them fresh to get the best whitening and stain-removal effect.

Variations:
For Colored Clothing: If you’re concerned about using lemon on colored fabrics, opt for white vinegar or baking soda as an alternative for stain removal and whitening without the risk of discoloration.

For Deep Stains: For more severe stains, like oil or grease, you can mix baking soda with dish soap to create a more potent stain remover before applying it to the fabric.

FAQ:
Will lemon juice bleach my clothes?

Lemon juice can have a mild bleaching effect, so it’s best used on white or light-colored clothing. Avoid using it on dark or bright-colored fabrics to prevent fading.

Can I use this on delicate fabrics?

For delicate fabrics, such as silk or wool, it’s best to test the lemon and salt method on a small hidden area first or opt for the white vinegar method for gentler stain removal.
