Home Remedy 1: Vinegar & Water Solution

One of the most effective solutions for clothes that turned white is plain vinegar. Vinegar works as a natural cleanser and fabric softener, removing detergent residue and mineral deposits without harming the fabric.

How to Use:

  1. Take a bucket of lukewarm water.

  2. Add 1 cup of white vinegar.

  3. Soak the discolored clothes in this solution for 30–40 minutes.

  4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

  5. Dry them in shade (avoid direct sunlight to prevent further fading).

Why It Works:

Vinegar breaks down the soapy buildup and restores the fabric’s natural shade. It also helps in removing any musty smell caused by detergent deposits.

Pro Tip: Add half a cup of vinegar in your washing machine’s rinse cycle regularly. It prevents clothes from turning white or patchy.

Home Remedy 2: Baking Soda & Salt Method

Another easy and powerful solution is a mixture of baking soda and salt. Both these ingredients are commonly found in every kitchen and are excellent for reviving faded or whitened clothes.

How to Use:

  1. Take a large tub of warm water.

     

  2. Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda and 2 tablespoons of salt.

     

  3. Mix well until dissolved.

     

  4. Soak the clothes for 1 hour.

     

  5. Wash normally with mild detergent and rinse well.

Why It Works:

  • Baking soda neutralizes the harsh chemicals from detergent and hard water.

     

  • Salt acts as a natural color fixer, helping fabrics retain their original shade.

     

This method is especially helpful for colored clothes that look dull or whitish.

Why Choose Home Remedies Over Market Products?

You might come across various fabric whiteness removers or color restorers in the market. While some work, most of them are filled with strong chemicals that further weaken the fabric. On the other hand, home remedies like vinegar, baking soda, and salt are:

  • Affordable

  • Easily available

  • Gentle on fabric

  • Eco-friendly

That’s why these natural solutions are the safest choice for your clothes.

Conclusion

If your clothes turned white after washing, don’t panic. With simple home remedies like vinegar rinse or baking soda & salt soak, you can easily bring back their original shade and freshness. Plus, following preventive measures will ensure your clothes remain bright, soft, and long-lasting.

Next time your favorite outfit looks dull, try these remedies instead of discarding it. Not only will you save money, but you’ll also extend the life of your wardrobe naturally.
