How to whiten a yellowish tulle

Materials

• 1 cup baking soda.
• 100 ml of liquid laundry soap.
• 1 sachet or measure of chlorine-free bleach.
• Hot water.
• A large bucket or bathtub.

Procedure

1. Prepare the initial soaking: Fill a large bucket or bathtub with hot water and dissolve the baking soda along with the liquid soap. Mix well until combined.
2. Dipping the tulle: Dip the curtains into the mixture making sure they’re completely covered. Leave on for at least 6 hours. If the tulle is very stained, you can leave them overnight.
3. Moving the tulle from time to time: From time to time, remove the curtains with your hands to help loosen any accumulated dirt. You will notice how the water begins to darken.
4. Rinse thoroughly: After the soaking time, remove the curtains and rinse them with plenty of clean water to remove any soap residue and dirt.
5. Machine wash: Schedule a hot water wash (maximum 60°C) using your usual detergent and add the non-chlorine bleach in the corresponding compartment.
6. Proper drying: To avoid new stains, hang the tulle in an airy space but without direct exposure to the sun.

Tips for maintaining white tulle

• Wash the curtains at least once a month to prevent dust from gathering.
• If the tulle is very yellowish, you can repeat the soaking process before the final wash.
• Avoid using bleach, as it can weaken the fibers of the tulle and cause it to deteriorate faster.

By following these steps, your tulle will regain its whiteness and freshness, giving a renewed look to your home. Try it and be surprised by the results!
