Instructions:
Crush the aspirin tablets into a fine powder. You can use a mortar and pestle or place them in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Add the crushed aspirin powder to your washing machine’s detergent dispenser, along with your regular laundry detergent.
Run a wash cycle on the “whites” setting with cold water. Aspirin works best in cooler temperatures.
Science Behind the Suds:
Aspirin contains acetylsalicylic acid, which helps break down mineral deposits and hard water stains that can make whites look dull. It can also be mildly helpful in tackling sweat stains.
Important Note:
Aspirin is NOT recommended for colored clothing, as it may cause slight fading.
So next time you’re doing a load of whites, try adding some aspirin to give them an extra boost of brightness. You’ll be amazed at the results!
