How to Use:
Apply the enzyme-based stain remover directly to the yellow stains and allow it to sit for at least 15-30 minutes before washing.
11. Washing at Higher Temperatures
Hot water can help to remove stubborn stains and yellowing. However, make sure to check the fabric care instructions before using hot water, as some fabrics (such as wool or silk) can shrink or become damaged.
How to Use:
Wash your white clothes in hot water (around 130°F or 54°C), which can help to dissolve oils and grime that contribute to yellow stains.
Tips for Preventing Yellow Stains in the Future:
Wash Regularly: Don’t let sweat or body oils sit on the fabric for long. Regular washing helps prevent stains from setting in.
Use Detergent and Stain Removers: Always use a good detergent, and add a stain remover or booster to your wash if necessary, especially for areas that tend to yellow, like the underarms.
Avoid Fabric Softener: Fabric softeners can leave a residue on clothing, which may contribute to yellowing over time.
Dry in the Shade: While sunlight helps with whitening, prolonged exposure to the sun can cause fabrics to yellow. Dry clothes in the shade or indoors when possible.
Conclusion:
To whiten white clothes and remove yellow stains, you can use various household items like baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, lemon juice, and vinegar. For tough stains, oxygen bleach or enzyme-based removers can be highly effective. Regular care and washing, combined with these stain-removal methods, will help keep your white clothes bright and fresh!
