Fluff and Fold Raleigh NC: Brighten Whites With Ease!
Are you looking for an easy way to brighten your whites without the use of bleach? Try taking the old-fashioned approach! Use a bit of mineral washing soda (found at the local grocery store near the baking soda) to presoak white items in. A teaspoon or two should do the trick. Add the washing soda to at least 1 gallon of water. You can soak items in a pan, the bathtub, or add a half a cup of the washing soda to the washer before you start it.
You can even use another mineral cleaning agent called Borax. Use a half a cup of it with a gallon of water and then add it to your washing cycle. As we’ve reported in the past, white vinegar is also a great addition to your washing cycle. Add a cup or less (depending on the size of your load) and marvel at how nicely your whites come out! If you’d like to go the extra mile, add lemon juice to the rinse cycle. This will not only brighten whites, but also remove those pesky, hard to wash stains!
For another Eco-friendly, natural approach while summer heat still lingers, try hanging white towels or clothes outside to dry. The fabrics will benefit from natural sun bleaching. You can also purchase white brighteners at the store. Considered laundry additives, these brighteners will boost your whites without bleach.
