That’s why our grandmothers put all the clothes in a bag before putting all the laundry in the washing machine.
We reveal the reasons why so many experts use the bag method to remedy a very common problem. If you use it, you no longer even need to turn on the washing machine, saving a lot of money.
White items, because they turn yellow
At least once in our lives, we have all had to deal with clothes that have turned yellow, apparently for no reason. In reality, there are many reasons for this. First, sweat can be one of the causes of clothes turning yellow.
A second reason is related to washing and drying. If we hang out our white clothes without rinsing them, which are therefore rich in product residues, the sun could discolour them. Or, if we pick them up from the drying rack when they are still wet and fold them and put them in the wardrobe or drawers, we cause the garment to retain all the humidity and turn yellow.
Even the use of perfumes can make our white clothes yellow. Staining them, in the same way, can lead to the color turning towards yellow. An oil stain , for example, or sauce or blood, once gone, could leave yellow residues.
Fortunately, however, there are valid remedies to return your clothes to their maximum splendor. All you have to do is get some products, which we are sure you already have at home, and use them with the help of a small bag.
This is a truly ancient method, used by the best housewives and especially by the grandmothers of all of us. Many had wondered how it worked and what it was for and above all how it can lead us to save money with our washing machine.
Solve without washing machine with the bag method
If your whites tend to turn yellow, all you have to do is get some ingredients that we’re sure you already have at home. We are talking about hydrogen peroxide, a classic soap for clothes and salt.
Create a mix of the peroxide and salt in a basin of water, where you will immerse some of the white items that you notice have yellowed. At that point you can proceed by passing the clothes soap along the parts where you notice the greatest yellowness.
Now take the clothes, squeeze the water well and, without rinsing, place all the clothes inside a single bag. Proceed, trying to create a sort of vacuum. Therefore, eliminate as much air as possible from the bag and let the clothes rest in there.
Leave it to act for at least an hour, then rinse and hang out your clothes. If you want to take an extra step, to be safe, put the clothes in the washing machine and do the wash you usually apply.
You will notice how your clothes will truly become white like they have never been and you will eliminate any trace of yellow. You probably didn’t know this trick, yet it turns out to be really effective with clothes of any color, but especially with white ones.
