White items are in every person’s wardrobe, as they help to look smart and beautiful without much effort.
Simply adding one white item to your basic look will enhance your appearance.
However, it is important to understand that white items require special effort from the owner. They require special care, as they can turn yellow or gray as a result of improper washing.
What are some important rules to remember when working with white clothes?
Buy regular quality powder
Some people try to buy a special detergent for white clothes, but such expenses are not always justified. Such a detergent can thin the fabric, although the color will be preserved.
Experienced housewives recommend paying attention to the usual universal powder. It copes well with dirt and does not spoil the fabric.
Temperature
In order for white things to remain attractive, it is extremely important to choose the correct temperature regime. The optimal temperature is considered to be 60 degrees.
However, it is always worth checking the recommendations of the manufacturers of your items. If you have white silk items, the water temperature should not be warmed up more than 30 degrees.
It is worth noting that even synthetic fabrics can be extremely "demanding" in terms of temperature.
Soda
Many housewives know about this "magic" remedy. Proper use of soda will allow things to remain sparkling white for years.
It is best to use soda for preliminary soaking. A few spoons of the product are placed in a basin of cold water.
You can also add soda directly during the washing process to the detergent compartment. The amount of soda should not exceed 50 grams.
