A laundry expert has shared a way to restore white socks using a kitchen cupboard essential
During the sweltering summer months, many opt for light and breezy white socks, but keeping them pristine can be a real challenge. White socks are notorious for showing every stain, leading to a dull and dingy appearance over time.
"It's a simple, natural, and cost-effective method that you'll find surprisingly effective," reports the Express. Lemon juice might seem like an unlikely laundry aid, but its acidic nature is adept at breaking down the grime that causes socks to turn an unsightly yellow or grey.While bleach is often the go-to solution for whitening fabrics, it can be too harsh for regular use and may even give socks a yellow hue rather than reviving them.
Pour the hot lemon-infused water over the socks in the basin and let them soak for a minimum of two hours, or even longer for better results. Henry said: "The heat combined with lemon juice works to lift the stains and restore the brightness of your socks."
