How? Very simple. If you want the curtains to become snow-white again, you can use an ingredient that is added to cakes and is invaluable in home cleaning, i.e. baking soda. Add half a cup of baking soda to washing curtains. You can also soak the fabrics in a baking soda solution (1 cup of baking soda per 5 liters of water) for a few hours before washing.

Another way to whiten curtains is to use lemon juice. It has natural whitening properties. Add the juice of two lemons to wash curtains. Similarly to using baking soda, you can also soak the curtains in a solution of lemon juice (juice of two lemons per 5 liters of water) for a few hours before washing. Another home method of whitening curtains is to use table salt. Add half a cup of salt to wash curtains. It is also worth soaking them in a salt solution (1 cup of salt per 5 liters of water) for a few hours before washing. The last proven home method for whitening curtains is to use hydrogen peroxide. Just add half a glass of hydrogen peroxide to standard washing. You will get a better effect if you combine hydrogen peroxide with salt and soak the curtains in this solution before washing.
Homemade curtain softener
You can use vinegar and essential oils to prepare homemade fabric softeners. Vinegar not only softens fabrics, but also neutralizes unpleasant odors. Add half a cup of vinegar to the final rinse, followed by a few drops of your favorite essential oil, such as lavender, lemon or eucalyptus. If you are washing curtains before Christmas, cinnamon or orange oil will also work well. Then the Christmas scent will spread throughout the house.
