Salt isn’t just for cooking—it’s a surprisingly effective laundry aid. It can help restore colors, brighten whites, and even remove stubborn stains, keeping your clothes looking fresh and new.
How Salt Revives Colors
Preserves Colored Clothes:
Add 2 tablespoons of salt to the washing machine drum when washing colored clothes.
Salt helps fix the dye in fabrics, slowing down fading and maintaining the intensity of colors.
Brightens Light Fabrics:
Soak whites or light-colored fabrics in a salt water solution for a few hours before washing.
Alternatively, add salt directly to the wash cycle to restore whiteness and remove dullness.
Removes Stubborn Stains:
Sprinkle salt directly on stains such as sweat rings, yellow marks, or grease.
Let it sit for a few hours or soak the garment in salt water, then wash as usual.
