Bleach has long been a go-to for keeping laundry bright and germ-free, but its harsh chemical composition can be harmful to both health and the environment. The good news is, there’s a natural, effective alternative that not only cleanses and whitens but also preserves the quality and flexibility of your fabrics.
The Natural Whitening Wonder: Lemon
Lemon, a staple in the kitchen, proves to be equally valuable in your laundry routine. The citric acid in lemon acts as a natural bleaching agent, perfect for brightening white laundry without the need for harsh chemicals.
How to Use Lemon for Laundry:
Directly in the Machine: Add lemon juice directly into the drum or the laundry detergent tray. Proceed with your regular wash cycle to enjoy clothes that come out not just whiter but also fresh-smelling.
For Hand Washing: Soak your whites in a mix of hot water and lemon juice or slices. Leave for a few hours before rinsing. This method is ideal for delicate items or when you wish to target specific stains.
