How To Get White Socks Without Using Bleach
Posted on Aug 18, 2010 under useful tips | 15 Comments
I read about this tip from ReNest.com. If you want to outlaw the use of bleach, maybe you could give this a try. Get a big pot, toss in the scruffy socks, cover them with water and boil them with a slice of lemon or two. Remove them after ten minutes. The socks will be bright and not to mention, smell like some lemonade (I’m kidding). I haven’t tried this method before. Let me know the results if you have tried it. Besides being a great fat burner like apidexin, lemons make wonderful natural cleaning products that can be used at home.

I saw my confinement lady used this method on my white kitchen cloth. It worked perfectly. I’ve tried it once only, because I still prefer using bleach.

I also learned lemon is useful in a lot of cleaning tasks. I used lemon to wash the stubborn tea stain on my cup.
