- Hot water + baking soda
In the event that Marseille soap alone is not enough, complete the wash by immersing the yellowed tea towel in a mixture of hot water and baking soda. This white powder will have an degreasing and whitening effect on the fabrics to be cleaned. Leave the solution to act for an hour before rubbing by hand. For an impeccable result, washing can be completed in the washing machine.
- Soda crystals
If the kitchen towels are very dirty, you can dip them in a bowl of warm water mixed with soda crystals. This product, known for its washing, bleaching and disinfectant properties, will give a second life to yellowed tea towels and help you neutralize bad smells on the fabrics. Leave to rest for an hour and then rub them by hand before putting them in the washing machine.
- Hydrogen peroxide
The latter advice is to use hydrogen peroxide to clean and bleach kitchen linen. Just pour an equal amount of water and hydrogen peroxide into the bowl. Then dip the cloth and leave it on for about 30 minutes before rinsing.
Washing kitchen rags can be a real thankless job. The secret is to pre-wash them with natural and effective solutions before putting them in the washing machine. To keep them at their best, you must make sure that you keep your kitchen clean so that they do not capture odors and humidity and dry them well between one use and another.
