Try a very weak solution of fabric conditioner and warm water (a few drops per litre of water). Apply using a small sponge (don’t overwet), then gently stroke the surface with a folded towel to try to lift and realign the pile.

Rinse and blot with kitchen paper, then blot with a terry towel (or use a cool hairdryer). Leave overnight.

Get your yellowing cotton blouse back to white again

Posted on by

Yellowing happens when a white garment is exposed to direct sunlight for a long time (the UV from the sunlight degrades the brightener in the fabric).

To reverse this, try rewashing in detergent containing optical brighteners or brightening agents, such as Ariel, within a full load using the recommended dose and at the hottest temperature on the label.

f you hang your washing on the line, keep the whites away from direct sunlight and take inside as soon as they’re dry.

Place a little pile of bicarb of soda over the sink plug opening, pour over some vinegar and watch the action.

Now apply a kettleful of boiling water and feel secure in the knowledge that you’ll have done the pipes a power of good.
