Many have probably heard that in the days of our grandmothers, starch was actively used in the process of laundry care.

At first glance, the methodology now looks somewhat outdated.

But this is not true. On the contrary, starch can significantly improve the appearance of your underwear.

How to use this life hack from the past correctly?

First of all, we need to prepare the starch base. To do this, take from two small to two large spoons of the main component for four glasses of water. The amount will depend on the degree of intensity.

After this, make sure that the starch is completely dissolved in the water.

In a separate container, combine water with a small amount of salt and bring to a boil.

Add starch. Mix both components until smooth. Add linen. Wait for at least forty minutes after that.

Afterwards, the items need to be wrung out well and sent out to dry.

Then we take the iron. It should not be hot. Using gauze, we begin the process of ironing the linen.

You will be surprised, but things will look as if you just bought them.
