하얀 계통의 옷들을 눈 같이 희게 하는 세탁법: Homemade Laundry Whitening Recipe

How many times have I bought a sparkling white item of clothing, blown away by its blinding brilliance, only to see it somehow attract all kinds of grubby stains! So many of my favorite items of clothing have lost their pristine white glory, and not one of the pricey supermarket solutions has ever restored any of them. Well, this will no longer be a problem because I have come across a simply stunning whiteness laundry solution. Try this, and your spoiled items can once again be garments fit for angels.
 
A Laundry Solution Sent from Heaven
There are few things more depressing than opening your washing machine or dryer to see your white garment or fabric has not been properly cleaned of stains. It can be so embarrassing that you throw them out, never wanting anyone to see you wearing or using such apparently dirty materials. It’s all such a waste. Or at least it was until this heavenly pure whiteness solution was invented and proved to achieve brilliant results.

Take note of the following ingredients, purchasing what you need, and do a trial run with a particularly grubby and old white fabric. Take a 'before photo' and put it through the procedure laid out below. Then take an 'after photo' and just see what amazing results you have achieved.

Ingredients

• Extremely hot water (just enough to cover your items – not too much)
• 1 cup laundry detergent (from the store or homemade)
• 1 cup powdered dishwasher detergent
• 1 cup bleach
• 1/2 cup borax

Directions

1. Put your washing machine, loaded with your formerly white item(s), on its hottest possible setting. You may also add some boiled water yourself. But remember to just barely cover your items. If you add too much water the solution will be too diluted to effect the whitening you desire.

2. After the wash has been completed, you will want to let it soak for a very long time. Anywhere between a couple of hours to overnight will achieve superb results.

Note: If your washing machine is not able to soak items for a long amount of time, it is suggested that you instead soak your item(s) in a big hot pan of water, or any huge container you have. 
3. Now dry your item(s) and compare the whiteness with what it was before you started the wash. This solution is guaranteed to restore any stained item’s hidden whiteness back to its pristine best.

묵은 때가 있는 집기를 새것 같이 만드려면 : Turn Old Looking Things Into New Once Again


You most probably have a couple of things around the house that are old, or things you most likely love that you wish would look as good as new again. Thankfully, with these secrets, your old-looking items will look brand new once again! 
1. Chopping boards

For copper pots to look as good as new again, sprinkle the surface with salt, then pour a little bit of vinegar over it, rubbing it with a hard sponge.

Prepare a solution made of one part vinegar and two parts water. Mix the water and vinegar together in a spray bottle and spray on the stain, covering with a damp cloth. Then, set your iron onto steam mode and place it over the cloth for 30 seconds. 



6. Cast-iron pans
For cast-iron pans you will need a disinfectant, some gloves, garbage bags and white vinegar and follow these instructions:
• Spread a thick layer of the disinfectant on the old cast-iron pan. 
• Put the pan in a garbage bag and tie it up tightly. 
• Leave the pan in the bag for 1-2 days then rinse off the disinfectant. 
• Apply a new layer of the same liquid and put it in a tightly knotted bag for one day. 
• Wash off the dirt with hot water. 
• Soak the pan in a mixture of warm water and vinegar (1:1) for an hour and scrub the surface with a scouring pad. 
• Let the pan dry. 
• Preheat the oven to 250C, putting the pan in it for an hour. 
• Carefully remove the hot frying pan and apply a layer of olive oil all over it.
• The hot metal will absorb the required amount of oil - wipe off the residue with a clean, dry cloth and once again, put the pan in the oven, this time upside down. 
• Take it out after 15 minutes, wipe with a cloth and place it in the oven again for an extra 15 minutes. Repeat for another two times.



7. Tiles
