It's not just outerwear that loses its appeal due to greasy marks.

This stain also appears on a white shirt over time. There are several tricks that will help return the clothes to their original snow-white color.

White shirt

A drugstore product, boric (orthoboric) acid, will help whiten the item. First, you need to prepare a working solution: 2 tbsp. boric acid per 4 liters of hot water.

The shirt is soaked in the resulting liquid. After 2-3 hours, the item is rinsed and then washed in the machine.

Colored shirt

For colored fabrics, use glycerin and citric acid (lemon juice).
