As with white clothes, white socks get dirty very easily. A completely normal phenomenon since they are in constant contact with our shoes and are therefore exposed to all types of bacteria. Once they get dirty, it becomes quite difficult to clean them effectively and restore their shine. A trend that can, however, be reversed thanks to the use of natural and eco-sustainable ingredients.
Various methods have already proven themselves to be effective when it comes to optimally cleaning white clothes. Socks will not be left aside thanks to recipes that include ingredients such as: lemon juice, bicarbonate of soda or even hydrogen peroxide. The latter is also one of those products whose versatility we hardly suspect given that it is used for multiple uses.
In addition, white socks differ from white clothing in ease of cleaning. Because if it is easier to preserve the whiteness of white clothes, it is not the same for our socks . This is simply due to their environment favorable to any type of dirt and perspiration. It is also possible to eliminate the resulting bad foot odor.
It is in this registry that we advise you to arm yourself with life-saving ingredients that are most likely to help you get out of trouble. These are: hydrogen peroxide, dish detergent, bleach, lemon juice, white vinegar but also a plastic bag. Let’s see how to expertly exploit their properties without resorting to chemical products.
