  1. Rice cooking water, a little-known treasure

This liquid that we tend to throw away without thinking about it nevertheless has unsuspected virtues. The starch it contains acts as a gentle yet effective cleansing agent. To reap its benefits, soak your shirt in cooled rice water for half an hour. A light rubbing of the affected areas followed by a rinse with fresh water is often enough to regain a bright white. A zero waste tip that is good for your laundry and the planet.

  1. White vinegar, an essential multi-purpose product

This miracle product deserves its place in every home! Not only does it disinfect and descale, it also revives white fabrics without attacking them. Dilute a tablespoon of vinegar in 100 ml of cold water and immerse your shirt in it for 20 minutes. A standard machine cycle will then be sufficient to remove all traces of yellowing. The result? A pristine white with no lingering smell.

  1. Baking soda, the ally of textiles

This magical powder works wonders on sweat spots and discolorations. Mix 2 teaspoons of baking soda with 100 ml of water to form a smooth paste. Spread it on the yellowed parts, leave on for half an hour, then proceed with the usual wash. Your shirt will not only regain its whiteness but also an incomparable freshness.
