Perhaps, any clothing begins to lose its rich color over time.
You have probably noticed yourself that bright and black fabrics become faded, and white ones change color to yellowish or grayish.
It is not surprising that when you see such things, you have an urgent desire to throw them in the trash bag.
But you can also try to give them a second life, and the simplest tools at hand will help with this.
Chances are you already have them at home, since we're talking about salt and vinegar.
The first component will remove mineral deposits from the fabric – they are the ones responsible for the muted colour of the items. The second product is needed to fix the dyes in the fabric.
So all you need to do is mix 2 parts vinegar and 1 part salt and start the wash. If we are talking about a standard washing machine drum, it is enough to add half a glass of vinegar and a quarter of a glass of salt.
When washing, do not use aggressive household chemicals.
As for dark fabrics, such as black or brown, tea or coffee will come to the rescue.
You need to brew the strongest possible drink and leave the clothes in this solution for about an hour. When the time is up, rinse the clothes in cold water.
Finally, light-colored fabrics will need the help of lemon, which is famous for its bleaching properties.
The juice squeezed from one lemon should be diluted in a liter of water. Use the resulting liquid to soak clothes. After half an hour, wash the laundry in cold water.
