Hold the bleach! There's a better way to revitalise your dingey whites
From grass stains to drink spillages, it's all too easy to ruin your sparkling whites. If your once-pristine clothes are looking dull and grey, don't worry—you can still transform them back to their former glory. While bleach is often the go-to for brightening dingy whites, it can sometimes be too harsh, damaging fabrics and even turning your whites a yellowish hue, which can be worse than a stain.
Fortunately, there's a solution that avid cleaners swear by. It can lift even the most stubborn stains without discolouring or damaging your clothes. A woman shared a picture of a sink full of dirty whites with the caption:
"Is there any way to make these white again?"
In the comments, one product clearly stood out:
"Put the whites in Milton sterilising fluid or tablet. Leave them overnight and then wash as usual." Another commenter added, "I do this a lot, and it brings them up like new. Only use cold water with Milton, as hot water kills the solution's power." A third person agreed, suggesting, "Soak all your discoloured whites in Milton sterilising fluid overnight in a large bucket." And a fourth simply instructed, "Soak in Milton overnight."
So next time your whites look less than brilliant, try Milton sterilising fluid for an easy and effective solution.
