Personal Correspondent: It is quite difficult to take care of white color clothes despite the warm comfort. Wearing white clothes feels less hot due to low heat absorption capacity. In intense heat therefore white color clothes are preferred.
Professor Shahmina Rahman of Bangladesh College of Home Economics Department of Textiles and Textiles said about the way to take care of white clothes – any stains on white clothes are easily removed. Sweat stains are no exception.
White clothes wet with sweat should be soaked in a bucket of water for a while with detergent and washed. If you don’t want to wash the whole garment, you can soak the sweaty part in water and rub it lightly with a toothbrush.
But don’t rub too hard. There is a risk of fiber damage.
It is best to add a light blue during the last wash to retain the brightness of the white color.
The clothes should be dried upside down so that the color does not fade. Instead of putting it in the strong sun, it should be mixed in light sun or in a place where the air circulates.
Be careful while ironing white clothes. Laying a thin cloth over it and then ironing reduces the chances of staining.
White clothes easily get crease marks or yellowing if not used for a long time.
