How can I whiten cotton that has turned yellow?

Has your white washing come out of the machine yellow again? Are you stuck for a way to whiten cotton that has turned yellow? You’re certainly not the only one. Sometimes the cause is quite difficult to find. But here are a few tips to get your washing sparkling white again.

There are various ways to whiten cotton that has turned yellow

To start with, there are good stain removers available at the supermarket, but there are also plenty of home remedies that are just as effective at whitening yellow cotton.

• You can bleach your white washing for a short time in a solution with hot water. Or you can add a little bleach to a laundry dosing ball. Make sure there aren’t any coloured items in your washing machine if you do this.
• Would you prefer to try a gentler product? Baking soda is a good, natural alternative. It isn’t corrosive and it works just as well. You can add it to your white washing or soak your clothes in a bowl of baking soda and hot water.
• Cleaning vinegar may also help to whiten cotton that has turned yellow.
• Is the yellow colour recent? If so, you can also add a dishwasher tablet to your washing.

Here’s a tip! Did you know that even the sun can help bleach your white washing?
