Soaking in salt

First, prepare a solution by mixing 5-7 tablespoons of salt in 5 liters of water. Immerse the curtains in the liquid and leave for about an hour. After soaking, wash the curtains according to the manufacturer's recommendations to restore their brightness.

Citric acid

Lemon juice or acid can be a great alternative to bleach to restore the snow-white color of your curtains. They not only fight discoloration, but also leave behind a refreshing citrus scent.

Before washing your curtains, treat them with a solution of diluted lemon juice or citric acid. This natural remedy is both effective and gentle on the fabric.

Baking soda

A simple but effective method is to soak the curtains in a bathtub filled with water and half a kilogram of baking soda. Leave the curtains in this mixture for several hours.
