This liquid can be used for culinary purposes, for example, when making pancakes.

The sour white drink is also useful in everyday life.

So, some experienced housewives pour sour milk over dirty laundry.

You need to wait about 60 minutes. Then the laundry should be removed and rinsed in water at a fairly high temperature.

Next, you need to squeeze out excess water from the items. After this, the items can be machine washed.

What does this treatment give?

“Milk” treatment provides two positive results at once.

Firstly, the drink makes stains less difficult to remove: subsequent washing will definitely be effective.

Secondly, thanks to milk, yellowness and greyness disappear. Things will stop looking washed out.

An important nuance

It is best to pour sour milk on white items first. After all, the procedure helps to return the whiteness of the laundry.

“Milk” treatment will also have a positive effect on light-colored items.

But dark-colored items should only be soaked in milk if the stains are severe.
