Laundry is a household task that many of us undertake regularly. When done right, it not only cleans our clothes but also preserves their quality and longevity. One challenge faced by many, however, is keeping white fabrics from becoming dull or yellowed over time. While there are many commercial products available that promise to restore whiteness, they often come with a host of chemicals that may be harmful to our health and the environment.
