Brilio.net - White clothes do need extra care. Surely you have a white shirt, pants, skirt or headscarf at home, right? So, white headscarves are usually worn with school uniforms, for elementary, middle and high school students.
Because it is often worn, a white headscarf will also get dirty easily. Starting from exposure to sunlight, sweat, and even splashes of dirt can stick to the surface of the white headscarf.
If you don't clean it immediately, the dirt will build up making it even more difficult to remove. As a result, the white color of the veil will appear yellowish over time. This can certainly reduce your self-confidence when using it, right?
To clean it, it's not enough to just wash a white veil using detergent. To get maximum cleanliness, you can follow the method shown by YouTube user Laundry Ria. It can be seen in his video upload that this man even added one kitchen ingredient to wash the white, dekilated headscarf to make it bright again.
First, put a packet of liquid detergent and a packet of bleach specifically for colored clothes into the water. Stir until these two cleaning ingredients are completely mixed. If so, add hot water to the bucket, then insert the dirty veil.

Press the hood so that the entire surface is completely soaked in the cleaning solution. If so, let it sit and soak the white veil for 30 minutes.

After letting it sit for 30 minutes, I checked the white veil with my hands. Without expending extra effort, stubborn stains appear to fade by themselves, you know.

If so, the white veil can be rinsed immediately using normal water. However, in the second rinse, this man added one kitchen ingredient to the water, namely 3 tablespoons of table vinegar. Stir until the vinegar is completely mixed.
"This function is so that the remaining detergent that is still absorbed into the fabric fibers and the smell of sweat can disappear completely," explained the owner of the video, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Laundry ria.

Once it is maximally clean, squeeze the white veil until the water content is reduced. Then put the white veil into the washing machine spinner (drying machine). If so, dry the white veil in the sun.

How to fold a headscarf so that it is neatly arranged
Here are the steps for folding the veil so that it is neatly arranged:
1. Place the hood on a flat surface, such as a table or bed.
2. Smooth and straighten the veil so that there are no excessive folds or wrinkles.
3. Fold the veil in half with the top edge meeting the bottom edge.
4. Check that both ends are aligned.
5. Fold it again in half with the left end meeting the right end.
6. Make sure the folds are neat and straight.
7. Now, you have a triangle with a blunt bottom and two points at the top.
8. Start folding from the blunt end towards the second end at the top, making neat and parallel folds.
9. Repeat these steps until you reach the end of the veil, making sure to keep the folds neat.
10. Finally, fold the remaining fabric at the last end inward so that the entire fold looks neat and hidden.
