Their natural brightness however can be restored by leaving them in lukewarm water that has been added with oxygen bleach for twenty-four hours.
Afterward, when they have been washed, rinse them again using vinegar.
For more effectiveness, ensure that one tablespoon of vinegar is added to one quart of water.
Let them stay in this state overnight and once again, wash them in hot water that has been added with chlorine.
After this cleaning process, if it is possible, make sure that the clothes are left out in the sun to dry.
