Soak items in a bucket of hot water and 1/2 cup lemon juice for at least an hour (some people recommend boiling them on a stovetop with lemon, but I haven’t tried this!) 2. Remove and place in the wash 3. Add 1/2 cup bicarb soda to the wash with your usual gentle detergent 4. Line dry in the sun The citric acid from the lemons help whiten clothes and bicarb soda is a natural deodoriser and brightener. UV naturally fades and whitens too, especially when pre-treated with lemon. As always, patch test when trying at home. Hope you have a relaxing weekend!'
