White clothes are difficult to maintain as they get dirty quickly and the colour becomes dull and yellow with time and washing. Sometimes a simple detergent is not enough to whiten clothes.

Clothes that turn yellow or greyish look dull and unattractive. Many people use bleach to lighten their clothes, but this product, as effective as it is, can irritate the respiratory tract and should be handled with great care. Also, if there is one thing you should avoid, it is soaking your clothes in bleach for more than 20 to 30 minutes. And for good reason, the stain can come out of the fabric, move into the water and permeate the entire fabric. If you cannot do without this chemical bleach, it is recommended not to soak for more than 20 minutes and then rinse and wash your linen as normal. If you opt for more eco-friendly and economical methods, discover natural tips that are alternatives to bleach to safely whiten your clothes by hand or machine.
