Does this only work on cotton?
My husband has a favorite shirt that is rayon /polyester blend. He stubbornly continues to wear it, even though it has turned a grayish yellow. I’ve tried everything! Other than the color, it’s in perfect condition. I really don’t want to toss it, but I may not have any other choice, unless you can help me out. Please, please, please!
Thank you,
Alisha
If the shirt is all white get a box of color remover (that is in the dye section) and follow the directions. The shirt will come out like brand new.
What you can do is fill your washer (top Loading) with hot water add half a cup of borax and soak your whites overnight and shut machine off, then wash the next day remember to leave the machine on hot and regular wash, when the machine is finished put it on a second rinse cycle. Borax has become my go to cleaner, I use a 1/4 cup in every load and all my whites and brights are no longer dull. Remember that before you start you white load make sure that the machine is clean and free of any lint. Borax is also green!
Hi …wet the cloth and apply sunlight soap (im from sri lanka) keep in the sun to dry.
