Black spots or mold can appear on clothes . This can happen because the clothes are quite damp. Many people choose to immediately throw away clothes that already have black spots because they are considered difficult to clean. In fact, if you know the trick, these stains can be removed, you know.
One trick, you can soak clothes stained with black spots in a citrus solution. Citrus or citric acid is known to contain high levels of acid to help remove stains. However, this ingredient is sometimes difficult to find on the market, so not everyone has stock at home.
So, for those of you who don't have citrus, don't be confused yet because there is still one more trick from TikTok account user @umimaull. This woman who is familiarly known as Maull said that she usually only needs one additional kitchen ingredient to get rid of black spots on clothes.

Before starting the trick, first prepare clothes bleach. Not only that, you also have to prepare dishwashing soap. Yup, dishwashing soap is the main kitchen ingredient for practicing this trick to remove black spots on clothes.

Just use 1 bottle cap of each ingredient. Place it in a container, then stir until smooth. So, before using it, first try applying a mixture of these two ingredients to the folds of the cloth. "Test first on a fold of cloth to test whether the color of the cloth will fade when exposed to bleach or not," explained the owner of the TikTok account @umimaull, quoted by BrilioFood on Sunday (21/7).

If you feel safe, immediately rub a mixture of bleach and dish soap into the area of the clothing that has black spots. Scrub gently using an old toothbrush. Then, leave it for a few moments. "Let it sit so the anti-stain works," said Maull.

Once the black spots have completely faded, then pour in the fabric softener. This fabric softener is said to help neutralize the pH of clothes bleach, so there is no risk of damaging fabric fibers. Spread out the fabric softener with an old toothbrush.

After applying fabric softener, immediately wash the clothes as usual using detergent. You can wash it in a washing machine or check it manually. Taking a peek at the comments column in the TikTok video @umimaull, one netizen admitted that he was curious about the results of clothes stained with black spots that had been washed using this trick. Apparently, the results are satisfying, you know. "Are you missing?" wrote TikTok @لولو أنيسا and the video owner answered, "It's lost, but you have to be very careful. I'm afraid the color of the fabric will disappear, Brother."
