Brilio.net - Bright colored clothes , especially white, are indeed a favorite of many people because they give a clean and elegant impression. However, wearing white clothes is often a challenge because it tends to make stains more visible, especially if the stains are from faded clothes. This situation usually occurs when washing mixed clothes, where the color of the dark or less stable material sticks to the lighter fabric fibers. The result? White clothes that were previously clean and bright turn dull or even look dirty.
Faded stains on bright clothes are not only aesthetically pleasing, but they are also often difficult to remove. Although there are many cleaning products on the market, not all of them are effective in restoring the original color of clothes without damaging the fabric. In fact, a wrong step in washing can cause the stain to spread further, making clothes even more difficult to save.
Dealing with fading stains on bright clothes can actually be prevented with a few simple steps. Separating clothes by color when washing is the most basic way, but is often overlooked for practical reasons. In addition, using special detergents for white clothes or stable dyes can help minimize the risk. If the fading stain has already appeared, some people usually just brush it off.
In fact, instead of being brushed, these faded stains can disappear by themselves even if they are only soaked. An Instagram user @siti_setyowati_ once shared a simple trick in washing white clothes so that the faded stains disappear even if they are soaked for only 10 minutes. However, it should be noted that there are several ingredients that need to be prepared to wash these white clothes.

As reported by brilio.net from Instagram @siti_setyowati_ on Thursday (9/1), the ingredients in question are citric acid, baking soda, detergent, vinegar, and hot water. So you only need to put the faded part into a bucket. Then put citric acid, baking soda, detergent, and vinegar in sufficient quantities into the bucket.

Once done, immediately pour the ingredients with hot water so that they dissolve and mix well. On the other hand, this hot water also helps all the cleaning ingredients to be absorbed into the fabric fibers. But for maximum results, let it sit for 10 minutes.

After soaking for 10 minutes, immediately press the clothes so that the faded stains disappear even more. Then lift the clothes. Who would have thought, the faded stains immediately disappeared even though the clothes were only soaked without being brushed at all. If it is like that, immediately rinse the white clothes. Then neutralize by soaking them in water that has been given fragrance. Then hang the clothes to dry.
This video about the trick to remove stains from white clothes immediately caught the attention of netizens and has been watched more than 435 thousand times. Who would have thought, many other Instagram users then gave direct responses through the comments column. Most of these netizens even expressed their gratitude for getting new, useful knowledge.
"You can also use MSG and warm water washing soap," explained Instagram @kartika_rahayuwati.
"Thank you," said Instagram @dailamihendi.
"Thanks for the tips," wrote the Instagram account @dyahwidia23.
