Many young friends particularly like white clothes. Whether it is T-shirts, sweaters or jackets, they all like white clothes. They look refreshing and clean. However, after wearing these white clothes several times and washing them several times, Areas such as collars, armpits, and cuffs are particularly prone to yellowing, and may even look old after just a few wears. Most of these yellow substances are caused by sweat stains left by our sweating. When encountering such a problem, the first thing many friends think of is to soak it in some bleaching powder, bleaching water, etc. However, after using this method, the clothes can naturally become white, but the fabric will become white. It’s bad and brittle, and if it’s not rinsed cleanly, there will even be alkaline residues, making our skin suffer along with it.
When we wash clothes, is there any way to keep those white clothes clean and beautiful without damaging them? Follow me below to find out more.
First of all, we must not use this kind of 84 disinfectant water to soak when doing laundry. In this case, it will be very corrosive after soaking, so that the washed clothes will be very bad, and even the clothes will be twisted hard. It will be torn, and these are the phenomena after being corroded by bleach water or bleaching powder, so when we wash clothes and soak them, we must not put 84, otherwise we will not be able to get the clothes.
The second thing that cannot be put in toilet water is toilet water. You can tell this by just looking at the ingredients. Most of it is refreshing, and it also has some mosquito repellent effects. Some menthol and menthol are added in it. It only has a cool touch when sprayed on the skin, and when used to wash clothes, except for bringing a little fragrance, it basically has no other effect. Therefore, if you use toilet water to soak clothes, it will at best cover up the sweat smell of sweat stains, and it will not have any bleaching or whitening effect.
The third thing is white vinegar. Many people like to use white vinegar to soak clothes. After soaking with it, the clothes will become white and soft. However, our usual washing powder and laundry detergent will contain a calcium ion. It reacts with magnesium ions in water to form water-insoluble precipitates, which will harden after accumulating in clothes. When we use white vinegar to soak, it can make the clothes soft, but it cannot make them white. Even if we add too much vinegar, there will be a very strong acetic acid smell.
The correct way to wash white clothes, first of all, you need to put in some baking soda. There will be some grease in our sweat, and the baking soda has a very strong effect in removing oil and stains, and this material , it is edible and will not harm our skin. After pouring baking soda onto the dry clothes, add some laundry detergent or washing powder into it, and pour it on the dry clothes. After pouring some evenly, we prepare some toothpaste. There will be a lot of toothpaste in it. These tiny particles are like the white sneakers we wore when we were young. After they got dirty, my mother would squeeze some white toothpaste into them, then gently brush them and wring them dry, and the shoes would become special. It’s white and won’t leave any yellow marks at all, and these are the functions of toothpaste.
After that, we find a small brush and apply the laundry detergent, toothpaste and baking soda evenly on the clothes. Then add warm water to the basin. The water temperature is about 70 degrees. If the temperature is slightly higher, it can be used quickly. All these things are dissolved in water, and then the clothes are soaked in it for about ten minutes. After soaking, it will be easier to wash the clothes. According to the method I just used, in addition to the collar, there is a lot of sweat in the armpits and cuffs, which often causes yellowing. In addition to some residue left by sweat stains on white clothes, it will cause yellow marks. There are also some reasons that can cause clothes to turn yellow. For example, if we use some alkaline laundry detergent or washing powder to wash, the color agent will be destroyed after washing, which will cause it to become more and more yellow over time. , because the color of many textiles is not white, but a warm white obtained by dyeing. This white color will also fade during long-term washing, especially when encountering alkaline substances. , it will slowly turn yellow after the color fades.
And when we wash, we not only put laundry detergent, but also some fragrance beads, disinfectant or some fabric softeners. If these things are not rinsed clean during rinsing, they will also There will be some residues, and these residues will slowly turn yellow.
Faced with this problem, we can slightly increase the amount of water used in the washing machine during rinsing. When rinsing it with more water, some alkaline residues inside can be fully washed away. When adding fragrance beads and softener to clothes, you should also add them in the regular amount. Don’t put too much, otherwise it will cause rinsing to be incomplete.
In addition, there is another point that many friends have not noticed, that is, sun exposure can also cause white clothes to turn yellow. I believe many of my friends are like me, they especially like the smell of clothes after they have been dried by the sun, but…The ultraviolet rays of the sun are very strong, and clothes will become worse, brittle, and yellow after being exposed to the sun. The yellowing after being exposed to the sun cannot be cleaned even with bleach.
Put the entire piece of clothing in water, rub it for a while, then drain the dirty water, replace it with clean water, and rinse the clothing once or twice. Many of today’s laundry detergents and laundry beads are easy-to-rinse formulas. Unlike the previous laundry detergents, there is still foam on them after two or three washes. Today’s laundry detergents and laundry beads are easier to rinse, so they have much less alkaline residue. You can directly put it in the washing machine and wash it once, rinse it once, or put it directly under tap water and rinse it twice more, and rinse it. As long as the rinsing water remains clear and no foam appears on it.
Many friends will add some fabric softener or clothing disinfectant to it when rinsing. As for this kind of softener and disinfectant, you only need to put a capful in about 15 pieces of clothes. So if we wash less clothes and the water level is relatively low, we must put less clothes and rinse them twice in clean water. When we see that there is no foam on them, we can hang them up to dry.
