A second reason is related to washing and drying. If we hang out our white clothes without rinsing them, therefore full of product residues, the sun could discolor them. Or, if we pick them up from the clothesline when they are still wet and fold them and put them in the closet or drawers, we cause the garment to retain all the humidity and become yellow.

Even the use of perfumes can make our white clothes yellow. Stains on them, in the same way, can cause the color to turn yellow. An oil stain, for example, or sauce or blood, once gone, could leave yellow residues.
Luckily, however, there are some valid remedies to make your clothes return to their maximum splendor. All you have to do is get some products, which we are sure you already have at home, and use them with the help of a little bag.
This is a truly ancient method, used by the best housewives and especially by the grandmothers of all of us. Many have wondered how it worked and what it was for and above all how it can help us save money with our washing machine.
Solve without a washing machine with the bag method
If your white clothes tend to yellow, all you have to do is get some ingredients that we are sure you already have at home. We are talking about hydrogen peroxide, a classic clothes soap and salt.
Create a mix of peroxide and salt in a basin of water, where you will immerse some of the white clothes that you notice have yellowed. At that point you can proceed by passing the clothes soap along the parts where you notice the most yellowness.

Now take the clothes, wring out the water well and, without rinsing, put all the clothes inside a single bag. Proceed, trying to create a sort of vacuum. Then, remove as much air as you can from the bag and let the clothes rest inside.
