The secret? Wash them properly, of course!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">How To Keep Your Whites, White!<\/span><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Wash whites with whites:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #808080;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #808080;\">A common mistake most of us make is that we mix our white colours with other light, non-colourfast colours. Why? Because most of us are lazy. What we should do is separate whites completely from other colours and wash with white clothes ONLY. If you&#8217;re already doing this, good job! *applauds*<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Don\u2019t overload the machine:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #808080;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #808080;\">Putting too much clothes in the machine will prevent your whites from being cleaned properly as the detergent will find difficulty in circulating through the load, which as a result will not give it\u2019s optimal cleaning performance. When loading the machine, fill it about three quarters of the way to ensure it isn&#8217;t overloaded.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>Don&#8217;t overload with detergent:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #808080;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #808080;\">Some of us may think that by putting a lot of detergent, we\u2019ll certainly get cleaner clothes meaning whiter clothes, right? Wrong! Too much detergent can in fact add an extra layer to the garment which causes build-up, leading to discolouration.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Treat stains ASAP:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #808080;\">Don\u2019t delay in treating stains; for the longer you leave them, the tougher they are to remove! PLUS that&#8217;s how you get that awkward darker patch on your white clothes. With wine or ketchup stains, we are certain to treat them quickly, but we should also do the same for invisible\u2019 stains such as sweat stains.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Wash in the hottest water (by care label):\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #808080;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #808080;\">It\u2019s best to wash your garments according to what it says on the care label. To get the most out of your whites, follow the set temperature that the label recommends you to wash them at- don&#8217;t go a temperature lower! That way, your whites will surely stay white and gleaming.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>Wash whites regularly<\/strong>:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #808080;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">With coloured clothes, it&#8217;s best to wash them after a few wears to keep the colours from fading. When it comes to whites, it&#8217;s a completely different story. The best time to wash them is after wearing them once or twice.\u00a0<\/span>Did you know that invisible body soils are one of the reasons why your whites start to turn a grey\/ yellow colour? Yeah. That&#8217;s way it&#8217;s best to wash them regularly to avoid that.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Dry accordingly: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Of course the label will know what the best method is in drying your whites<strong>.<\/strong>\u00a0So, for garments that allow you to tumble dry (if you own a dryer or use one) don&#8217;t over dry your whites as it will cause it to look worn out.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #808080;\">If you naturally air dry your clothes, then, no comment, that will do just fine!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>BONUS:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0If you&#8217;re laundry smart, you&#8217;ll realise that all of these tips mentioned will not only make your whites glowing but can also be considered to promote longevity of the rest of your clothes too!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\">If you have some tips that you use to keep your white clothes white, share them in the comments section! \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we buy white clothes, we want them to remain white after washing- not turn a darker shade of white (grey)!
