How to Make Tulle White Using Salt: Grandma's Method - Still Works
There are several ways to restore tulle to its original whiteness.
In this article we will tell you about the simplest, but at the same time the most effective method, which involves soaking curtains with salt.
To do this, you need to prepare a saline solution.
In warm water (about 40 degrees), dissolve salt (5 tablespoons per 5 liters of water) and washing powder (about 50 grams per the same volume of water).
Shake the curtains thoroughly to remove dust, then soak them in this solution for several hours, preferably overnight.
The bleaching procedure will be completed with a regular wash in the washing machine.
If you don't have the time to spend on soaking, use a simplified method.
First, you need to wash the tulle with powder, then rinse it in salt water (3 tablespoons of salt per 5 liters of water) and leave it there for 20 minutes.
Finally, remove the curtains from the water and let the liquid drain. There is no need to rinse the tulle in clean water.
