Brilio.net - White clothes are a favorite of many people because they are easy to combine with other colors and are suitable for various events, both formal and casual. The white color gives the impression of being neat and well-maintained. However, caring for white clothes can be a challenge because they get dirty easily. Even a small stain can be clearly seen, and if not washed properly, white clothes can become dull or have faded stains.
To keep white clothes bright and not dull, there is a special trick that can be applied when washing. This trick was shared by TikTok user @fifit.fitrisari in one of her videos. Instead of using bleach, she suggests washing with regular detergent and adding one kitchen ingredient for optimal results.
As reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @fifit.fitrisari on Monday (9/12), the kitchen ingredient used is dishwashing soap. Well, this dishwashing soap will later be mixed with detergent. Then he also uses another ingredient, namely citric acid. So these three ingredients will help remove stains while keeping white clothes bright.
But before that, make sure you have separated white clothes from other colored clothes, OK? This is to avoid fading which has the potential to make white clothes dull. So, collect these white clothes in one container.

In the video, she uses a washing machine to wash her clothes. Then fill the washing machine with water first. Then put a little citric acid, dish soap, and enough detergent into the washing machine. After that, stir it first or turn on the machine so that all the ingredients are mixed evenly.

So, make sure all the ingredients are dissolved in water, then put in the white clothes to be washed. Wash the white clothes for about 30 minutes. After that, rinse and dry the white clothes.

Well, the rinsed white clothes can be dried directly to dry them completely. The washed white clothes will look shinier because the color is not dull. However, it should be noted that this method can also have other effects due to the addition of citric acid. It is better to do it only for a long time (not too often).
"Someone once said that if you use citric acid too often, your clothes will become fragile and break quickly," said TikTok user @RawitIjo in the comments column.
"Yes, some people say that because the water is yellow, they use it every day... but I only use it for white clothes that are a year old, so it's safe," replied TikTok @fifit.fitrisari.
