An expert from the Instagram page "La casa di Mattia" reveals the most common misconceptions when washing white laundry, from using the wrong detergent to a poor combination of additives. With a few simple rules and tricks, you can ensure your laundry stays brilliantly white and smells fresh for much longer.
TL;DR
- Mixing white and colored laundry can cause white items to take on a grayish tint.
- Liquid detergent may make white clothes appear grayer because it lacks oxygen.
- Powder detergent combined with the right additive can restore brightness.
- Use oxygenating products like mild bleaches or percarbonate to keep laundry white and disinfect it.
- Avoid using too much fabric softener, as residue can worsen the condition of the laundry.
- For best results, wash white laundry for at least an hour and a half at temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius.
