Before tossing the dyed clothes, it's worth trying to save them. Surprisingly, it may be easier than you think. The best part is, the solution can be found in your kitchen.

A simple and affordable method for dyed clothes

Before doing laundry, it's essential to sort clothes properly. Unfortunately, even proper sorting may not prevent accidents, especially with white garments. Sometimes, clothes come out dyed. So, what can you do?

An influencer suggests a simple trick using a dishwasher tablet to help restore the whiteness of clothes. Just toss a tablet into the washing machine with the dyed items and wash them. According to the influencer, this is often enough to bring back your bright clothes.

An influencer also shared another method on Instagram that can help restore the whiteness of dyed clothes. In this case, milk can be of help.

"Soak the dyed laundry in a milk bath (approximately 1 litre of milk per 4 litres of water) and leave it overnight. Then wash as usual."

Citric acid is another useful option; add it to clothes soaked in warm water. After about two hours, wash the laundry in the washing machine, and it should be ready.
