When modern whitening products no longer satisfy the needs of housewives, they turn to folk tricks.

This includes washing clothes with eggshells. They say that you can wash white and colored things this way. The advice is strange, but the result is not long in coming.

We will tell you how to wash things with eggshells and what benefits it gives.

The technique is relatively effective when the task is to preserve the color of things.

This rather ancient folk trick allows you to bleach old tulle or bed linen or simply wash dirty clothes.

In addition, natural bleach is completely harmless to colored materials and the environment.

Unlike chlorine bleach, the fabric retains its structure longer, no matter how much it is bleached.

How to proceed

You need to dry and then crumble or grind into powder the shells of 2-3 chicken eggs.

The powder or crumbs are placed in a cotton bag or several layers of gauze.

The bag should be tied tightly and loaded into the washing machine drum along with the dirty laundry.

Important! The folk remedy does not replace washing powder and other products, but is used together with them.

This way you can tidy up white linen that has turned grey after several washes, and also remove stains.
