Introduction:
While modern washing machines offer convenience, some old-school laundry tricks can actually preserve your clothes better. One such method—recommended by grandmothers—is boiling garments with lemon instead of using harsh bleach. This technique helps maintain fabric strength and brightness without chemical damage.
Ingredients:
1 large saucepan or pot
Water (enough to submerge clothes)
2–3 drops of fresh lemon juice or lemon essential oil
Mild detergent (optional)
Instructions:
Fill a large saucepan with enough water to fully submerge the clothing item(s).
Add 2–3 drops of lemon juice or lemon essential oil.
Bring the water to a boil.
