5 Tips to Clean and Bleach Your Towels Naturally

5 Natural Ingredients for Washing and Whitening Towels Naturally

  1. White vinegar
    • It acts as a natural disinfectant, eliminates bad odors and softens the fibers. You just have to add a cup to the wash cycle (without detergent). You can also do a pre-wash with hot water and vinegar to intensify the effect.
  2. Baking soda
    • Excellent for neutralizing odors, removing stains and removing detergent residues. Use in conjunction with vinegar or on a separate cycle. Place half a cup in the washing drum and activate with hot water.
  3. Lemon juice
    • Its natural acidity acts as a mild bleach. Ideal for yellowish spots or gray areas. Squeeze 2 or 3 lemons in hot water, let the towels soak for an hour and then wash them as usual.
  4. Hydrogen peroxide (3% hydrogen peroxide)
    • Effective at disinfecting and rinsing without damaging the fibers. Add half a cup in the main wash or use it to treat spot spots before washing.
