Sort Your Dirty Laundry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorting the dirty laundry is the one most important thing to consider when washing white clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Separate your white clothes with other colored clothes to prevent your whites from taking dyes from colored fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Pretreat_the_Stains\"><\/span>2. Pretreat the Stains<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next is to treat the stain before washing it. However, check each white garment before putting it in the washing machine and follow the stain removal guide for different types of stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Load_it_Correctly\"><\/span>3. Load it Correctly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fully loading your machine might be tempting to save time, but it can cause your machine to work harder due to overloading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An overload machine also affects your machine\u2019s ability to properly wash your white clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Choose_the_Right_Detergent\"><\/span>4. Choose the Right Detergent<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep white clothes clean and bright, choose a detergent that contains a sufficient amount of enzymes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These enzymes are very effective in removing stains and dirt, so the surfactants in the detergent can work well to suspend dirt in the wash water and facilitate the rinsing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, look for detergents that contain optical brighteners. These brighteners work by deflecting ultraviolet light waves, which makes blue light more visible and reduces yellow light that can make clothes appear dull.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By using this type of detergent, your clothes will appear whiter and fresher, giving you a satisfying wash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Add_Laundry_Booster\"><\/span>5.

Use White Vinegar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vinegar is renowned for its ability to remove stains and dirts and has been sworn by many DIYers for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mild acid in vinegar will help remove detergent residues that can cause white fabrics to turn yellow, especially when dried in a tumble dryer at high temperatures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply add 236 milliliters of distilled white vinegar to the rinse cycle in place of fabric softener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there you have it!
