Baltā apģērba mazgāšāna

Here are some natural alternatives to bleaching your whites:

Lemons: Soak your whites in a warm lemon-water mixture for an hour before you wash.
Distilled white vinegar: Add a half cup of vinegar to your clothes in the washer to whiten and soften fabrics.
Sun: Hang your whites in the sun to naturally bleach them.

The other causes of graying is using too much laundry detergent which leaves a dirty residue on your clothes. Adding 1 cup of distilled white vinegar to your rinse water to cut through and remove this film.

Or, your washer is dirty. HE washers don't use as much water and film of dirt and detergent can get built-up on the drum and redeposit on the clothes leaving them dingy. Clean your washer at least once per month to prevent this problem.

Dzeramo sodu (baking soda) arī esmu mēģinājusi, ir OK. Bet nu, etiķis ir ērtāk ielejams (berot sodu no kastītes, es parasti nocūkoju visu grīdu).

Parasti mazgāju ar šķidrajiem pulveriem, kas domāti krāsainām drēbēm.
