I’m a laundry pro – my recipe for ultra-bright whites including a common kitchen item gives bleach an extra boost
WHITE clothes and linens look so much better when they’re bright, crisp, clean, and spotless.
A YouTuber has just revealed her brilliant laundry hack for brightening whites and making them look brand new.
DIY lover Tina Golik shared her recipe for viewers to emulate on their next laundry day.
She says: “This is actually a recipe that works on really dingy things that you can never get quite white [again].”
The first thing Tina pours into her washing machine is one cup of powdered laundry detergent.
She says the brand is irrelevant, but in the video, she’s using the All Stainlifters brand, which costs $8.99 on Amazon.

After everything is poured in, Tina starts her load of laundry using hot water.
“The hotter the water, the better,” she explains.
“You could actually boil it on your stove and put it on your washing machine if you wanted.”
Rather than run the whole laundry cycle straight through, she allows the washer to fill up and has everything inside sit and soak for at least four hours.
After the long soak, she runs the laundry through the rinse cycle and adds some vinegar for good measure.

She warns not to use fabric softener when throwing the laundry in the drier.
When she finishes washing and drying everything, she shows her viewers just how bright white the results are.
