Brilio.net - White clothes are one of the mainstay outfits for many people because the color is neutral and can be worn at various events. Unfortunately, caring for white clothes is quite difficult. The reason is, the bright color makes white clothes susceptible to stains . Even the stains can be seen clearly.
These stains usually come from spilled food or drink. Apart from that, stains can also be caused by sweat that comes out of the body. Usually the stain is visible on the collar of the shirt. If you don't wash it thoroughly, the stain will turn black over time.
If this happens, the stain will be difficult to clean if you only wash it with detergent. Finally, many people choose to use clothes bleach to clean them. This material can indeed make clothes white again, but if used too often it can also risk damaging the fabric fibers.
So, to be safer, you can copy the method shared by YouTube user the Errando family. Through one of his videos, he admitted that he removed the black stain on his shirt collar without bleach. He only relies on 3 ingredients, one of which comes from the kitchen.

Reported by BrilioFood from the Errando family's YouTube on Sunday (31/3), the kitchen ingredient used was baking soda. Apart from that, he also uses citrus and detergent powder.
First of all, prepare a large bucket to soak the clothes. After that, pour plain water into the bucket. Make sure there is enough water to soak the clothes, okay? If so, add 1 tablespoon of citrus, then stir until dissolved. Then also add 1 tablespoon of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of powdered detergent.
"Friends, you can see that the baking soda reacts with the water. It bubbles like that," he said.

After that, put the white clothes to be washed. The YouTube user appeared to have added 1 tablespoon of baking soda to the collar because the stain was quite stubborn. After that, the collar is folded and the shirt is soaked for a while.

"On the collar I want to use baking soda too because the dirt is quite strong. Then I fold it like this. We soak it for 15-20 minutes," he added.

After soaking for 15-20 minutes, scrub the collar with the help of a brush. Because it has been soaked, stubborn black stains will fade more quickly.
"Just a moment later, we brushed it and it was gone. You can see that the collar was already clean," he said further.
Next, wash the clothes as usual. Then rinse and dry in the sun until dry. It's quite easy, right?
