How Do You Whiten Clothes Without Using Bleach?
Crisp, white clothing is refreshing, and we all like to keep our whites clean and bright. Harsh products like bleach may take out stains, but they do not necessarily whiten better than other alternatives. Bleach contains dangerous ingredients, and if it gets into your lungs it can do irreversible damage. Keep your family safe and your laundry room bleach-free by using other products to whiten your clothing and keep your white clothes bright. Lemons are a natural way to whiten clothing and linens. Let your clothes soak in a sink basin with hot water and lots of lemon slices for an hour or two then launder as usual. Another option for more dingy clothing is to boil water, turn off the heat and add the clothes in a large pot with lemons. Then, let them soak overnight. You will not only get your garments white they will smell lemony fresh as well. Dishwasher detergent is another great whitener for your laundry. Add about ΒΌ cup dishwasher detergent to your whites and wash them in warm water
