whitening almost grey white clothes

Due to hubby’s training, he is forced to reuse his dirty white scrub suits. Actually, the scrubs are four years old. He planned to buy new ones, but we don’t have budget as of this time. I never thought that it has a lot of yellow stained and the color already turned to almost grey. I wonder how to turn the scrubs whiter and looking like new. I checked the web and found this tips:

• Whiten Clothes with the use of Baking Soda – Baking Soda is a wonderful ingredient to whiten clothes naturally without bleach. That’s why it’s used everyday in many whitening toothpastes and natural household cleaners. Add about ½ cup into the wash plus your regular detergent. Clothes will come out whiter and brighter without chemicals.
• Another one is with the use of Vinegar – Vinegar is another wonder ingredient you can use to whiten clothes naturally without bleach. If the smell scares you, don’t worry. Your clothes won’t smell like vinegar. The smell may linger in your washing machine for a bit but your clothes won’t smell. Simply add about ¾ cup of vinegar to your wash along with your regular detergent to whiten clothes naturally without bleach.
• Another item is Borax – Borax is often advertised as a laundry brightener and can be found in your grocery store’s laundry aisle. It’s a naturally occurring mineral that has long been valued for its whitening properties. Borax is used in all sorts of natural cleaning products. I use it to clean anything from toilets to dishes. But most of all, it will whiten clothes naturally without bleach. Add bout ½ cup of Borax to a regular load of laundry, along with your regular detergent for whiter, brighter clothes instantly.

Since I don’t have the first and the last item in my household, I used the vinegar in his scrubs. I am still soaking it for now. Let’s just hope it works. It’s the first time I will be doing this. Hehehe
