These, according to this&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;research&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;carried out&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>by the Mutual de Seguridad Clinical Hospital of Chile, can be very harmful to our health if we do not use them correctly.&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Fortunately, now it is very easy to use all those practical and economical tricks that allow us&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>to whiten these clothes without affecting our health or the environment.&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Next, we want to share with you the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>5 most effective tricks to whiten socks without using bleach.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/essermamma.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/calzini-sporchi-1.jpg\" alt=\"dirty socks\" class=\"wp-image-5254\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-agua-tibia-con-sal\">1. Salt water<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The warm salt water solution&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>helps to more easily remove dirt stains<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;that accumulate on socks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ingredientes\"><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2 tablespoons of salt (20 g)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 liter of warm water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"que-debes-hacer\"><strong>How to use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pour the two tablespoons of salt into a liter of water, stir so that the salt dissolves and immerse the socks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the socks are very dirty, add a little detergent for better results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid using very hot water, as it can damage the elasticity of the garments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-peroxido-de-hidrogeno\">2. Hydrogen peroxide<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hydrogen peroxide, commonly known as hydrogen peroxide, is&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>a very useful product for washing white socks.&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Its properties eliminate bad odors caused by sweat and eliminate even the most difficult stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ingredientes\"><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00bc cup hydrogen peroxide (60 mL)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 liter of warm water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"que-debes-hacer\"><strong>How to use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dilute the hydrogen peroxide in a liter of warm water and soak the socks for 40 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After this time, remove excess water and wash them with regular soap.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-jugo-de-limon\">3. Lemon juice<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lemon juice contains natural acids that&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>help preserve the whiteness of all types of clothing, according to&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2801997\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a study<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;carried out by the Leiden University Medical Center (Netherlands).&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Its antibacterial compounds control bad odors and leave a fresh aroma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ingredientes\"><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 cup lemon juice (250 ml)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 liter of warm water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"que-debes-hacer\"><strong>How to use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add fresh lemon juice to a bowl of warm water, then dip your socks in and let them soak for 45 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then rinse them as usual and let them dry in the sun.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/essermamma.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/calzini-sporchi-1024x535.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5253\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-bicarbonato-de-sodio\">4. Baking soda<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baking soda is one of the most used ecological products when cleaning dirty clothes and the house. Its&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>astringent and whitening action is used to care for delicate garments<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, including socks. It is recommended&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>to combine it with lemon juice or hydrogen peroxide<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;to enhance its cleaning effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ingredientes\"><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2 tablespoons baking soda (20 g)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd lemon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"que-debes-hacer\"><strong>How to use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rub the two tablespoons of baking soda into the damp socks, let them sit for a few minutes, and then rub them with half a lemon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To finish, wait another 10 minutes, rinse them and dry them in the sun.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-vinagre-blanco\">5. White vinegar<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using white vinegar to wash clothes is a very common practice, especially among people who have opted for 100% ecological cleaning methods. This is stated in this research from the University of Massachusetts Lowell (United States). This product contains acids and active compounds that, in addition to removing dirt,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>disinfect and neutralize bad odors.&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;In addition,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>it serves as an alternative to softening products,<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;since it has similar effects, but without containing aggressive chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ingredientes\"><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 cup white vinegar (250 ml)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd liter of cold water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"que-debes-hacer\"><strong>How to use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make a solution of white vinegar with water and soak the socks for 30-40 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scrub them thoroughly, add some liquid soap and rinse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, dry them in the sun for best results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results of these homemade tricks&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>may vary depending on the quality of the products used<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and the type of fabric of the socks. So if you don&#8217;t get the results you want, try another one on the list until you find the one that works best for you. Also, avoid using chemical bleach, as it is too aggressive a product and&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>tends to affect the quality of the fabrics.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Socks&nbsp;&nbsp;are one of the clothes we use the most and, therefore, they are the ones that&nbsp;&nbsp;tend to get dirty and wear out over time.&nbsp;&nbsp;Being in continuous contact with your feet, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5848,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advice"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Very white socks: the trick to whitening them (even the dirtiest ones) is not to use bleach!
