How to whiten socks: effective washing methods

When it comes to washing white socks, it is important to follow certain care methods to preserve their appearance. UAportal has learned how to effectively wash white socks.

Sorting

Separate washing of white and colored socks helps to preserve their brightness and prevents fading. It is advisable to use a high-quality laundry detergent specially formulated for white fabrics. In addition, do not overload the washing machine so that the socks have enough space.

Stain treatment

Apply a stain remover directly to the stained areas and leave on for a short time before washing. Do not use bleach on white socks as it can weaken the fabric and cause yellowing over time. To remove particularly stubborn stains, soak socks in a mixture of water and oxygen bleach before washing.

Hot water

Hot water can be an effective way to disinfect socks and eliminate any bacteria or odors that may have accumulated. However, always check the label for specific washing instructions.

Drying

Do not use a high temperature dryer as this may cause yellowing of the fabric. Instead, dry your socks in the sun or indoors. Sunlight naturally bleaches and brightens the fabric.
