5 SIMPLE Hacks to Care For White Shirts
be mindful of deodorant
Chemicals in deodorant stains makes them “virtually impossible to remove”. To avoid them, wait for your deodorant to completely dry before putting your shirt on.
RINSE WITH VINEGAR
Skip commercial fabric softeners, add 1 cup distilled white vinegar to the rinse cycle to ensure that all the detergent is stripped away from the fabrics.
Choose the right detergent
Choose a premium detergent with a suspending agent like sodium silicate salts, so that once the dirt has been removed from your shirt in the machine, it will stay in the water, and off the fabric, for the rest of the wash.
DRY ON LOW
Drying white clothing and fabrics outside can make a big difference in their brightness. The ultraviolet rays from the sun will help freshen and whiten. If drying outside isn't possible, dry on a lower heat setting
Promptly treat stains
Chlorine bleach can whiten, but it may damage fabrics if overused. An oxygen-based bleach is usually safer and can be applied to all washable fabrics, except wool and silk.
