Always test any new whitening method on a small, inconspicuous area of the garment first to ensure it does not cause damage or discoloration.
Avoid using hot water, as it can set stains and cause yellowing of whites.
Hang white garments to dry in the sunlight whenever possible, as natural sunlight has natural bleaching properties.
Regular maintenance and prompt treatment of stains can prevent the need for heavy-duty whitening methods in the future.
