If you want to dye your cotton white, we'll show you how.

Steps

  1. 1 Look at the label on your clothing. There may be information on whitening there.
  2. 2 Never mix whiteness with ammonia or ammonia. It can burn skin or clothing.
  3. 3 The fabric should be of a uniform color. Many fabrics cannot be bleached - silk, spandex, silk acetate, and stretch fabrics. After bleaching, the fabric is weakened.
  4. 4 Whiteness serves as a bleaching and disinfecting agent for light-colored cottons such as underwear or socks. Do not pour whiteness directly onto the fabric; use it in the washing machine.
  5. 5 Fill a bucket or special compartment in your washing machine with white.
  6. 6 Put things in white and leave for a while.
    • If the fabric does not lighten, add a more concentrated whiteness solution after a few hours.
  7. 7 Rinse the fabric.
    • Drain and rinse with cold water. You can use the rinse mode in the washing machine. Be careful with whiteness.
  8. 8 Take another bucket and fill it with hydrogen peroxide. Leave it on for 15 minutes. This way, the whiteness will not continue to corrode the fabric.
  9. 9Wash clothes before bleaching, preferably without detergent.

Tips

  • Wear gloves and goggles.
  • Use natural fabrics for lightening. Synthetic fabrics such as polyester do not bleach well.
  • Wear old clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.

Warnings

  • Don't panic if the fabric gets an odd color or stains. Just leave it whitened for longer.
