Once the water starts to boil, you will have to “cook” everything for at least half an hour, taking care to stir every 5 or 10 minutes . Once the cooking time has passed, remove the pot from the heat and let the decoction cool. When the solution has reached room temperature, you can immerse the items you want to revive inside and let them soak for at least 24 hours .

For objects that are light or tend to rise to the surface, it may be helpful to help keep them well submerged by using a small weight, such as a glass jar that is not too small to float. After 24 hours, the clothes can be washed as usual , by hand or in the washing machine, and once dry, you will be able to notice the difference. The procedure can be repeated several times without problems, since it does not damage the tissues.
