Brilio.net - White gamis is always a favorite choice for many people. Its neutral and elegant color makes this clothing suitable for various events, both formal and casual. However, behind the charm of its simplicity, white gamis often faces a classic problem, namely that it easily looks dull and gets dirty quickly, especially on the bottom which often comes into contact with the floor or ground.
This problem is increasingly felt by those who often wear it for outdoor activities. Dust, dirt, and stubborn stains are the main enemies that are difficult to avoid. Even after washing, certain stains often remain, making the white color look less bright.
Not only that, the lower part of the long robe is often dragged or swept by dirty surfaces, such as streets or floors. This is the main reason why this part is more prone to stains than other areas. If not cared for properly, this problem can shorten the life of the robe, making it look shabby faster than it should.
But don't worry. There are some easy and practical steps that can be taken to keep your white robe clean and looking new. You can even remove stains without brushing. An Instagram user @tari_ari_aja once explained it further through one of the videos she uploaded.
As reported by brilio.net on Thursday (16/1), Instagram user @tari_ari_aja apparently only soaked the robe. However, the cleaning materials used were not random so that the stubborn stains could be removed. In the video, she admitted that she only relied on kitchen ingredients, namely dishwashing soap and vinegar.

So the way to wash it is quite easy. You only need to prepare a bucket and enough water. After that, put the robe in and press it until all parts are completely submerged. If so, pour in enough dish soap and vinegar.

Next, stir it with your hands until the cleaning agent is completely dissolved. Then let it sit and soak the gamis for about 20 minutes. After soaking, you can immediately rub the gamis using your hands, especially in the stained area.

The gamis that has been rubbed immediately looks clean. You can rinse it with running water until there is no soap left. After that, dry it by airing it. Avoid drying white gamis directly under the sun so that the color does not fade and turn yellow.
Basically, vinegar contains acetic acid that is able to dissolve mineral-based stains, such as dirt, oil, or food stains, while also acting as a natural deodorizer. Meanwhile, dish soap is designed to fight grease and oil effectively, so it can help clean oily stains that are difficult to remove with just regular detergent.
When used together, the vinegar works to loosen the stain particles, while the dish soap helps break down the remaining dirt until its completely gone. Plus, this combination is also gentle on fabric fibers, making it safe to use on delicate materials like white robes without damaging their texture or natural color.
