Yellowed Outfit: 3 Tricks to Make It Look Like New Again

🛁 3. Soak in White Vinegar + Baking Soda

This method is ideal for overall yellowing, not just spot stains.

What you’ll need:

• 1 cup white vinegar
• ½ cup baking soda
• Warm water
• Large bowl or basin

Instructions:

1. Fill the basin with warm water, add vinegar and baking soda.
2. Submerge the entire garment and let it soak for 1–2 hours.
3. Rinse well and launder as usual.

Why it works:
Vinegar softens fabric and breaks down mineral deposits and detergent residue, while baking soda lifts stubborn discoloration.

Bonus Tips to Prevent Yellowing

• Avoid bleach on white clothes—it can actually cause yellowing over time.
• Don’t overuse fabric softener, which can leave a residue that traps stains.
• Store whites in a cool, dry place, away from plastic bins or cardboard boxes that can leach chemicals.
