How to wash light colored clothes?
In summer
Many people like to wear white items
But the light color is too easy to get dirty and difficult to wash
Accidentally wash it off
It’s not that hard to get rid of stains
Before teaching you how to clean
Let me give you some knowledge first
White clothes are not resistant to soiling and are prone to yellowing
Do you know the reason behind this?
- The fluorescent agent becomes weaker
In the process of making clothes, a whitening dye, a fluorescent agent, will be added, which can brighten the dyed fabric, but after washing too much, the fluorescent agent will be lost, and the clothes will appear yellow and old.
- Oil residues secreted by the body
The acidic substances secreted by sweat are oxidized, which will turn the clothes yellow, so generally, the inside of the armpits or the collar will turn yellow more seriously.
- The detergent is not rinsed clean
If the laundry detergent is not rinsed, it will also turn the clothes yellow in a large area, so it is best to bleach white clothes several times, especially when the clothes are exposed to the sun, the residual rinse agent and foam are easy to yellow and become old.
There are many ways to wash white clothes. Today, I will teach you a few simple methods. The materials are all common in life and are particularly convenient.
