Over time, our bed linen, but also our towels and our clothes can turn yellow. But what is this really due to? It’s simple: yellow spots happen because of sweat and our bodily fluids. When sleeping or actively moving, fluids get on textiles. If you don’t react quickly, the stains can become ingrained. But don’t panic: it is possible to restore laundry to its former whiteness, using a few natural products.
1 – Soda crystals
Add 1/2 cup (125 ml) of soda crystals to each wash to make whites whiter and colors more vibrant, while reducing limescale deposits in the machine.
2 – Oxygenated water
Wash laundry or white cotton clothing at 95°C, on a long program, adding hydrogen peroxide to the tank
3 – Marseille soap
Marseille soap has no equal when it comes to restoring your clothes to their original immaculate white. Few stubborn stains can resist it! Economical and easy to implement, this tip helps eliminate traces of tomato sauce, coffee, or even fat.
To remove white clothing, follow each of the following steps:
- Rub the stain directly with the block of Marseille soap, without wetting it
- Let the soap sit in a thick layer for about an hour
- Then lather with water and scrub again, possibly using a soft-bristled brush
- Wash your white clothing in the machine, without rinsing the Marseille soap first.
