Folk recipes
How to quickly whiten a white organza
The fastest and most effective way is the use of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia, which must be taken in a ratio of 2: 1, and poured into a bowl of water. Soak the tulle in this solution for half an hour, then rinse under running water and dry.
You can also use store products, which are also quite effective and quickly deal with whitening.
What improvised products can be used to whiten organza products
For cleaning organza, not only powder or bleach proposed by a sales assistant is a good tool. The available tools that are found in every home have proven themselves quite well. Consider the most popular and effective.
Laundry soap
Ammonia and hydrogen peroxide
We have already considered this option as the fastest and most effective in whitening white organza.
It should be repeated that ammonia needs 1 part, and hydrogen peroxide - 2. Exactly follow the recipe, and your tulle will shine like new.
Soda
Take a pinch of washing powder and a spoonful of soda, pour 5 liters of water. In the resulting solution, soak the curtain for 20 minutes. Then wash with your hands at a temperature not exceeding 40, or in the washing machine in the "curtain" mode.
Kefir or yogurt
If after normal washing your tulle is still gray, use this method. Soak the product in fat-free kefir or natural curdled milk for 24 hours. Then rinse it under running water. Now rinse again in the washing machine with rinse aid, which will help remove the sour smell.
Important! When rinsing in the machine, set to “no spin” mode.
Starch
Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin)
Take 4 tablets in 5 liters of water. Dissolve the tablets in warm water and soak the tulle in the solution. Leave it for 3 hours, then wash, rinse with rinse aid and dry.
Lemon acid
This method is used for light pollution. To add a slightly yellowed tulle to add whiteness, rinse it in warm water, adding a bag of citric acid to it. Then rinse again without acid.
How to bleach organza items in a washing machine
To whiten organza in the machine, purchase a bleaching agent, and pour it into a special compartment in the machine, and put in a gentle wash with pre-soaking.
Note! If the machine does not have a special compartment for bleach, take a container for it (supplied), place it in the rinse aid compartment, and start the soaking mode.
