Laundry curtains is one of the least favourite chores for many people. How can you make the fabric regain its colour without losing quality? It turns out you just need to crush a tablet of a popular product, and the curtains will regain their snow-white colour.

Like a delicate mist, Curtains add lightness and subtle charm to interiors. However, they lose their original glow over time due to dust, sunlight, or settling dirt. It is also worth remembering that dust and pollen from outside settle on curtains, which may worsen allergies.

Instead of shining with a clean white, they become grey and dull. Fortunately, there is a method that is gaining popularity. Thanks to this method, curtains will quickly look like new.

How to wash curtains?

Of course, many special washing agents can be found in stores, but traditional detergents can damage the delicate fabric and are often quite expensive.

On online forums, many people recommend washing curtains with baking soda, which works great for whitening and removing yellow stains on clothes. When washing delicate curtains, you can also use it by adding it directly to the washing machine drum.

Add aspirin to the laundry

Aspirin, available in sachets and tablets, is the secret ingredient for effective curtain washing. Crushing the tablets before adding them to the laundry is worth it. Add the aspirin to the washing machine drum and the curtains and set a delicate program.

Thanks to its whitening properties, aspirin restores the curtains to a snowy white, while removing dirt and deposits without damaging the delicate fabrics. However, it should be remembered that aspirin has a slightly corrosive effect, so one tablet or sachet is enough for one wash.
