Boil water and add a few slices of lemon. Soak the clothes in the lemon water for about an hour before washing as usual.
You can also mix lemon juice with salt and a little soap to create a pre-treatment solution. Apply it to stained areas before washing and then dry the clothes in the sun for best results.
Lemon juice not only helps with whitening but also leaves clothes smelling fresh and clean.
5. Milk
It may sound unusual, but milk has been traditionally used to whiten delicate fabrics. Milk proteins can help lift dirt and stains, leaving your clothes looking brighter. This method works best on lightly soiled garments and delicate fabrics, rather than heavily stained clothes.
How to Use Milk:
Soak the garment in a bowl of milk for a couple of hours.
Rinse the garment thoroughly and wash as usual.
While milk isn’t as powerful as other options, it’s a great choice for delicate whites, such as lace or fine linens.
