FAQ
1. Will this method work on colored clothes?
This technique is specifically for white clothes, as hydrogen peroxide and lemon juice can lighten colored fabrics. For brightening colors, use baking soda and vinegar alone.

No, delicate fabrics require special care. Instead, try gentle detergents and mild vinegar rinses to maintain softness.
3. How often should I whiten my clothes using this method?
It depends on wear and washing frequency. For best results, use it once a month or whenever you notice dullness.
4. Can I use this method in a front-loading washing machine?
Yes! Simply add the ingredients directly into the drum or detergent compartment and run a hot water cycle.
With this safe, bleach-free whitening method, you can restore your clothes' natural brightness without worrying about fabric damage. Give it a try and enjoy fresh, bright whites every time!
