Yellowed Curtains |
|
|
I have a pair of white - now yellowed cafe kitchen curtains that were in bad need of a wash, they looked yellowed so I figured bleach would whiten them up - nope. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get my white curtains back and get rid of the yellow look? Thanks!

For yellowed washables, I use a combination of bleach and powdered dishwasher detergent in hot water. let soak for an hour then wash. excellent results!

I tried 20 mule team borax. That didn't work. I tried oxiclean also did not work. So last resort I bought 3 boxes of Rit dye remover aggitated according to box instructions and rinsed, they came out like brand new.
RE: Yellowed Curtains
I put my "yellowed" (we're both smokers) curtains in the washer with my regular detergent (cheer) & a half cup of 20 Mule Team Borax, let it agitate for about 15 minutes, let it soak for an hour or so, then ran it through a regular cycle & they came out white again. Good Luck!

I just found 2 pillows with covers in garage that never made inside. The covers were Yellow and
horrid looking, I pitched the pillows and but
bleach and baking soda with laundry soap
and tossed pillowcovers machine and when it began
to agitate I turned maching OFF then couple hours
later I turned it ON again and they came out
WHITE !!!! I was surprised my friend told me
its the soaking that did it. Good Luck!

Try adding some Mrs. Stewarts bluing to the rinse water. Blue neutralizes yellow.
RE: Yellowed Curtains
Soak your curtains in lemon juice before hanging them outside. The lemon juice should bleach them.

Have you tried OXICLEAN - it works wonders, also hanging in bright sun may help

If you have a clothesline available, hang them in the BRIGHT, HOT, sun for a couple of days.
