Tricks for washing faded and yellowed clothes so that the color remains bright.
As reported by BrilioFood on Monday (26/2), there are a number of ingredients used to wash faded and yellowed clothes. The ingredients in question are bleach and laundry alkaline (a mixture of soda ash and caustic soda dissolved in warm water). Apart from that, there is an additional ingredient that comes from the kitchen, namely baking soda.
So, all of these ingredients will be mixed into water and then used to soak faded and yellowed clothes. For measurements, just put 150 grams of baking soda, 50 ml of bleach and 50 ml of laundry alkaline in a bucket. Then pour a bucket of warm water.

Next, stir it with the help of a tool to make it safer. When mixing these ingredients, make sure you use safety equipment such as a mask, glasses and gloves. Not without reason, the very strong alkaline nature of this liquid causes a hot sensation.
When the mixture is ready, immediately put the faded and yellowed clothes into the bucket. Then press so that the clothes are completely submerged. After that, soak briefly for 15-20 minutes.

After soaking, immediately rinse the clothes until clean. Well, clothes that have been soaked and rinsed look cleaner. However, to neutralize bleach and laundry alkaline that sticks to clothes, you need to neutralize them.
In the video, YouTube user EK TV CHANEL soaks clothes again in water mixed with citrus. However, he admitted that vinegar can also be used to neutralize the bleach content and make the remaining stains disappear. Finally, rinse again and soak in the fragrance to make the clothes softer.
