4. Sun Drying – Nature’s Best Bleach

Sunlight is a free and natural bleaching agent that helps whiten clothes while eliminating bacteria.
After washing, hang your white clothes outside in direct sunlight to dry.
Sun drying works best when combined with lemon juice or vinegar treatments.

5. Hydrogen Peroxide – A Safe Alternative to Bleach

Hydrogen peroxide (3%) is a gentle, non-toxic whitening agent that removes stains effectively.
Add ½ cup of hydrogen peroxide to your wash cycle to keep whites bright.
Apply directly to stains, let it sit for 10 minutes, then wash as usual.

6. Salt – A Traditional Whitening Trick

Salt helps break down stains and prevents white clothes from turning yellow.
Dissolve ½ cup of salt in warm water and soak clothes for an hour before washing.
For sweat stains, mix salt with water to create a paste and apply it directly to affected areas.

7. Eco-Friendly Laundry Detergent

Choosing a natural detergent or making your own can help keep whites fresh without chemicals. Try this homemade detergent:
1 cup washing soda
1 cup baking soda
½ cup grated Castile soap
Use 2 tablespoons per load for a natural and effective clean.

Extra Tips to Maintain White Clothes

Wash whites separately from colored clothes to prevent dulling.
Use warm or hot water when possible to break down stains effectively.
