In every person’s wardrobe there is probably that one item that has to be washed separately from other clothes.

The reason is simple: a product made from bright fabric will shed a lot.

However, there is a simple way to protect fabrics from staining, and for this you will need nothing more than vinegar.

To avoid the risk of light-colored shirts, blouses, and T-shirts turning pink after being placed in the washing machine with a red towel, you should soak the textiles in vinegar before washing.

Things need to spend about a quarter of an hour in such a “bath”.

After 15 minutes, the laundry can be loaded into the washing machine drum.

This clever trick can be used on all items that could potentially bleed and stain other items in your wardrobe.

By the way, vinegar not only helps to preserve the color of clothes, but is also a reliable assistant in such a process as cleaning the washing machine from dirt in the form of soap and limescale.

To do this, pour a glass of acid into the washing powder compartment every month and turn on the appliance, selecting the standard washing program. There is no need to put laundry inside.
