Natural Ways to Brighten Your Whites:

1. Potassium Permanganate:

• A potent oxidizer available at pharmacies, potassium permanganate revitalizes white fabrics.
• Dissolve a few crystals in 10 liters of water until it turns a light pink hue.
• Submerge your whites in this solution, cover the container with nylon or cling film, and let it sit for 4 to 5 hours or overnight.
• Despite the change in water color, there’s no cause for concern. Simply rinse and wash your items as usual afterward, repeating the process if necessary for optimal results.

2. Baking Soda:

• Renowned for its cleaning prowess, baking soda is equally effective for whitening laundry.
• Mix 2-3 tablespoons in water, soak your whites, then proceed with your regular wash and air-dry them.

3. Baking Powder:

• Surprisingly effective, baking powder can enhance the brightness of your whites.
• Simply add it to your detergent compartment and run your normal washing cycle.

The Downside of Commercial Whiteners: Many store-bought whiteners contain chemicals that pose risks to our health, potentially causing respiratory problems, inflammation, lung damage, and skin irritation.
