Brilio.net - Mukena is one of the worship equipment that a Muslim woman must have. The reason is, the mukena is used to cover the entire private parts when praying. Because they are worn every day, mukenas tend to get dirty due to stains.
Especially if the mukena you wear is white. The stains left on the mukena will become more clearly visible. If you leave it like that, over time the stain will turn yellow and become more difficult to remove.
Yellow stains on mukena can be caused by sweat or make-up stains on the face. This was felt by a netizen who uses TikTok @rosalaundry. In their video uploads, these mothers show the appearance of their white mukena whose head looks yellow.

Knowing this, he immediately washed his white mukena. Well, usually most people immediately soak their mukenas in bleach with a bleach solution . After soaking for a while, the mukena will return to its maximum white and clean color.
But this method apparently was not used by these mothers. Instead of soaking his mukena in a bleach solution, he instead relied on one kitchen ingredient, namely dishwashing soap. He poured dish soap and detergent onto the yellow stains on his mukena. Then I checked the mukena with my hands.

If you have checked it for a while, the yellow stain appears to fade. After that, wash your mukena as usual. To be practical, these mothers deliberately wash their mukenas using a washing machine.

After washing, the mukena looks maximally clean. There are no more yellowish stains all over the part. Just dry it in the sun so that the mukena can be worn straight away as usual.
"The results are clean," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @rosalaundry on Thursday (14/3).

Tricks for storing mukenas so they don't smell musty.
To store your mukena so it doesn't smell musty, you can follow these simple steps:
1. Make sure it is clean and dry.
Before storing the mukena, make sure it is clean and completely dry. If you have used it, make sure to wash it according to the recommended instructions and let it dry completely before storing.
2. Use a container that is not tight.
Avoid storing mukena in tight containers such as plastic bags or tightly closed plastic containers. This can cause a buildup of moisture that triggers mold growth and unpleasant odors. It is better to use containers made of cloth or materials that can 'breathe' such as cotton or linen.
3. Store in a dry and protected place.
Choose a storage location that is dry and protected from humidity, direct sunlight, and air that is too humid. Avoid storing mukenas in damp places such as the bathroom.
4. Use natural fragrances.
You can also use natural fragrances such as camphor, pieces of orange peel, or sachets containing ingredients such as pieces of cedar wood or dried lavender to help keep your mukena fresh.
5. Regular ventilation.
Periodically, remove the mukena from the storage area and leave it exposed to fresh air to avoid the buildup of unpleasant odors. You can hang it in the sun for some time, but not too long so the color doesn't fade.
By following the steps above, you can store your mukena properly and prevent unwanted musty odors.
