Here are 3 effective tricks to whiten laundry without using bleach:

Lemon juice’s natural acid acts as a brightener, and its citric acid helps break down stains, especially yellowing on whites.

How to use it:

Add 1/2 cup of lemon juice to your wash cycle.

You can also soak heavily stained or yellowed clothes in lemon juice and warm water for about 30 minutes before washing.

Why it works:
Lemon juice is a natural bleaching agent due to its acidity, which helps to lighten stains and brighten whites without the harshness of commercial bleach.

Additional Tips:
Sunlight: Drying clothes in the sun can also help naturally whiten and brighten them, as the sun’s UV rays can break down stains and yellowing.

Regular Washing: Washing whites regularly in warm or hot water (check care labels) helps prevent buildup and yellowing.

These tricks are gentle on fabrics, eco-friendly, and effective for keeping your laundry fresh and bright!
