1. Exposure to the sun and soak
For yellowed bed sheets, we must follow the correct method to clean them. First we put the yellowed sheets in the sun for 1-2 hours. Exposure to the sun will make the bed sheet whiter and make it easier to wash yellow marks. After exposure to the sun, we soak the yellowed sheets in water at normal temperature for more than an hour.
2. Cleaning
After completing step 1. How should we clean yellowed sheets? Hand washing or machine washing? In fact, it can be washed by hand or in a washing machine. But before normal cleaning, be sure to sprinkle some washing powder and pre-clean (washing powder can remove sweat stains). If you encounter more stubborn sweat stains, the dishwashing detergent used for washing dishes will come in handy. Squeeze some dishwashing liquid on the yellowing area and then use a small brush to brush it a few times.
3. Boiling in water
The editor has introduced two methods above. These two methods seem to be time-consuming. If you don’t have much time, then do we have other methods for yellowed bed sheets? Boiling water is also a good way. Of course, there is a prerequisite. Your bed sheet is a relatively heat-resistant bed sheet, otherwise it will cause certain damage to the bed sheet.
First make a pot of water, about 70-80℃, pour it into a basin, soak the yellowed sheets for a few minutes, add some detergent, and wait for the detergent to dissolve. Just use a small brush to brush back and forth a few times until the yellowing area is eliminated.
4. Use white electric oil
For the above methods, the yellowing phenomenon of the bed sheets may be a bit deeper. At this time, we can use white electric oil to scrub. First, put the bed sheets in the sun for 1-2 hours. After the sun is exposed, add some white oil to the yellowed areas and scrub them. It is recommended that you wear gloves when using white oil. After all, white oil is a chemical substance to avoid harm to the human body. Clean the sheets with cold water after scrubbing.
5. Bleach Cleaning
For some solid and light-colored bed sheets, the stains will be very strong once they turn yellow. Consider using bleach to soak or steam. However, before using bleach, be sure to pay attention to the cleaning precautions on the sheet label to see if it can be cleaned with bleach, and also pay attention to the soaking time and bleach dosage. Otherwise, not only will the yellowing of the sheet, it will damage the sheet.
6. Rice wash water + orange peel is simple and effective. Keep the rice wash water or put the orange peel into a pot and add water to cook and cool. Soak the yellowed quilt cover and pillowcase and rub it to easily make it white.
This method is not only simple, but also like the fluorescent whitening agents sold on the market, which will have side effects on the skin and do not damage the fabric. It is a good method worth trying.
7. For yellow stains caused by sweating, use ammonia water to remove sweat stains caused by sweating. Because sweat containing fat can easily condense in the fabric fibers, add about 2 tablespoons of ammonia water during washing, soak for a few minutes, rub it, and then wash it with clean water. According to the general procedures, you can remove the yellow sweat stains! But you can also try it with milk!
