1. Wash White Clothes Separately

If you want to keep your white clothes bright and shiny, then make a habit of washing your white clothes separately as it is the most effective way to maintain the whiteness of your garments. Mixing white clothes with dark colored clothes can cause dye transfer, leading to discoloration and a dull appearance. Before washing, always sort your laundry and keep whites separate to ensure that they look at their best.

To maintain the shine of your white clothes, try to always choose high quality detergent. Some detergents contain brighteners that enhance the brightness of your clothes. Also, you can add some amount of baking soda to boost the effectiveness of your detergent that makes your clothes shiny. 

5. Use Hot Water When Appropriate

Since ancient times, hot water has been used for washing clothes as it effectively breaks down oils and dirt that cause fabrics to look dull. However before using hot water some fabrics release colors when washed with hot water, so it is always better to check the care label. 

6. Add Natural Brightening Agents

Bleach is often used to whiten clothes, but it is advisable to use natural alternatives like white vinegar, lemon juice, or hydrogen peroxide as bleach can weaken your fabrics over time. For white clothes, you can take half a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle which can help to remove detergent residue and brighten whites. Lemon juice is another effective way to make your clothes bright. 

7. Dry Clothes in the Sun

When it comes to drying clothes, sunlight is an excellent way to brighten your white clothes. Drying your white clothes under the sun can help remove stains and refresh their brightness. Do not leave your clothes for a long time as excessive exposure can weaken the fabric and color may fade away.

8. Store Whites Properly

White clothes need proper storage as they are highly vulnerable to yellowing. So, It is advisable to keep your white clothes in a cool, dry place which is away from direct sunlight and heat. Also, try to avoid plastic storage bags which can lead to mildew formation due to moisture. 

9. Regularly Refresh Whites

After a long time, white clothes start fading or develop a yellowness due to detergent buildup and body residual oils. To prevent all this, soak your white clothes in warm water and oxygen bleach to refresh them. Another option is to use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar (white) to restore brightness. 

10. Avoid Fabric Softeners

Fabric softeners do not always do wonders, sometimes they can leave a residue that makes your white fabrics appear dull. Instead, you should use white vinegar in the rinse cycle to keep your clothes soft without compromising their brightness. Also, vinegar helps in removing odor. 

11. Be Mindful of Deodorant and Sweat Stains

Sweat stains are likely to build up in the white clothes which cause yellowing over time. To prevent yellowing, apply antiperspirant and allow it to dry enough before putting on your clothes. Also, you should wash your white clothes regularly especially in the areas which are prone to sweat buildup which prevents stain build up.

12. Invest in a Whitening Laundry Booster

Investing in a whitening laundry booster can make your clothes brighter. Try to use products with oxygen bleach or bluing agents so that it can enhance whiteness and restore brightness to fabrics without causing damage to it.
