Before discarding stained clothes, it's worth attempting to save them. Surprisingly, it might be easier than it appears. Apparently, the solution can be found right in your own kitchen.

A simple and inexpensive method to tackle stained clothes

Before doing the laundry, clothes should be properly sorted. Unfortunately, this can sometimes be insufficient, particularly with white items. After a wash, you might find yourself with stained clothes. So, how can you address this issue?

Cleaning expert suggests that a dishwasher tablet can work wonders in restoring whiteness to garments. Add it to the stained items' washing machine and wash as usual. According to the influencer, this technique should allow you to enjoy your light-coloured clothes once again.

Dealing with stained white clothes

The influencer has also shared another method on Instagram for restoring the whiteness of stained clothes. It turns out that milk can be quite helpful in this situation.

"Soak the stained laundry in a milk bath (2 pints of milk to 4 quarts of water) and leave overnight. Then wash as usual."

Citric acid can also be beneficial, which should be added to clothes pre-soaked in warm water. After approximately two hours, wash the laundry in the washing machine, and it's all set.
