Brilio.net - Fading stains on white clothes have become commonplace. Especially if white clothes are washed at the same time as colored clothes. These fade stains can appear when dye from one garment or fabric spreads and sticks to other clothes during the washing process.
Well, the color of faded clothes can stain other clothes . However, if the shirt is white, the fade stains will be more visible. This makes white clothes look less good when worn again.
To remove faded stains and restore the white color to clothes, some people usually use bleach. So the clothes are soaked in water mixed with bleach. Even though it is quite effective, using bleach has the potential to damage clothes if used too often.
Even though you know, there are actually other materials that can be used that are safer for fabric. Well, this material was shared by TikTok user @yaafiza_home. Instead of using bleach, the netizen relied on kitchen ingredients to remove faded stains on his white shirt.
Reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @yaafiza_home on Friday (2/2), the kitchen ingredients used were lime, micin and dishwashing soap. Apart from that, he also uses detergent. However, please note that this material and method will be more effective on white clothes that have recently been stained.
"When I found out it was fading, I immediately executed it. Maximum 3 days of faded clothes," explained TikTok @yaafiza_home.

As soon as the stain on your clothes fades, immediately apply dish soap to the stain. After that, prepare boiling hot water. Then add detergent, micin, and juice from 2 limes. Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed.

If so, dip the white clothes that have been smeared with dish soap. Dip the shirt several times until all sides of the shirt are covered in soap. Only then put it in the soaking water. Then soak for about 30-45 minutes.

After soaking, the water the white clothes were soaked in looked very cloudy and dirty. This indicates that the faded stain has been released into the water. On the other hand, white clothes are also cleaner even before they are brushed. At this stage, you can immediately rinse the white clothes until they are clean with running water. Then dry in the sun until dry.
Well, this dry white shirt looks really shinier, you know. The faded stains that previously covered part of the clothes were gone. That way, white clothes can be used again.
