Washing with eggshells

Effective washing of white clothes is not always easy the first time. Often, stains have to be treated with bleach again and sent back to the washing machine.

If you are looking for alternative ways to effectively remove stains from white clothes, you can try rubbing them with crushed aspirin tablets. You can also use frozen eggshells. This method was shared by the French publication Sante.

As it turns out, eggshells are an effective tool for whitening laundry and removing stains. First, you need to wash the eggshells, crush them, and put them in the freezer for a few hours. Then take out the shells and put them in a cloth bag, or put them in a sock and tie it tightly. Put the shells in the washing machine with the dirty clothes on top and turn on the machine.
